Today, a special delivery arrived for Eric Kuck in our Sidney office. The shipment contained several Squishmallows that were absolutely, definitely, without question intended for his kids. Unfortunately for Eric, what was meant to be a quiet plushie pickup quickly became office-wide evidence that he may be the area’s biggest fan of oversized plushies.

As we file this story alongside other wholesome surveyor sightings, including cuddling chicks and curious dogs, we’d like to reassure everyone that Eric’s kids did, in fact, receive their Squishmallows. At least that’s the story Eric is sticking with. And honestly, it could have been worse. We could have started a rumor that he secretly hates doughnuts.
