Posted by: Loren Coleman on October 1st, 2007

I want one. Better yet, I want to hear from Skoda so I may test drive one to see if I should endorse it. Or appear in an ad. 🙂 Skoda has announced that it will manufacture the Yeti SUV in the Czech Republic. The fifth model in Skoda’s vehicle line-up will be built at […]

Today, September 25, 2007, marks 728 weeks or over 5100 days since I almost died. On this date in 1993, I was free-climbing a rocky cliff in Maine, slipped on some talus, and fell back, straight down, about 40 feet. I landed on some rocks and caused my lumbar 1 to completely implode. As one […]

Posted by: Loren Coleman on September 25th, 2007

Sometimes all the tumblers in the universe seem to fall into place around one issue. Yesterday, for me, it appeared to in relationship to Gerald Russell and Snowmen skullcaps, the ritual objects made to look like the head of the Yeti.

I noticed today on the web that one of those “ask” sites had this question: “What are the different fields in Cryptozoology?” This was their “Best Answer – Chosen By Voters” – to wit – “Cryptozoology is a branch of zoology; I […]

Posted by: Loren Coleman on September 3rd, 2007

Posted by: Loren Coleman on August 20th, 2007

Early in August 2007, the above 1990 Nikolaj Avdeev “Russian Snowman” photograph was making the rounds. It seemed only right to take another look, with some analytic distance. What can be learned by comparing it with this 21st Century Bigfoot toy?
