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 […]

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.

Yep, that’s me. Getting carried away with my passion for all things cryptozoological. 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 […]

Photograph by Sonny Long, Victoria Advocate. A new creature report or series of sightings has turned into a “flap,” this time in Cuero, Texas. A flap is the term (with origins in the Air Force treatment of groups of ufo sightings) where there is a great deal of official and media attention, in this case […]
