It’s a Bird, it’s a Plane it’s a.. Did They Just Say Bear?

I have always considered myself more of an agnostic when it comes to believing the unbelievable. Show me the proof! Of course, in all things except where Yeti, Sasquatch and Bigfoot are concerned.
Sometimes its really nice to have belief in something that may not have that undeniable evidence to support it. It’s that hopeful feeling at the back of your brain that gives you that "Christmas morning" buzz. Waiting to hear the test results of a woodsy hair sample, or footprint DNA residue.  And I hope in light of all these unsupportive test results coming in, that  science really doesn’t dampen that excitement.
Do I really want the evidence that may prove that he doesn’t exist? It will be the same horrible feeling like it was with the "Santa talk".
Science and faith. An age old battle going on as long as good and evil. When it comes to other areas of science, I can’t wait to see what they will discover next. But in this I have my worries.
And I admit, I enjoy the anticipation of waking up to the breaking news that conclusive evidence has been found and he is added to species list. But for all these recent sightings, DNA test results show the evidence pointing to bears. Polar Bears, Himalayan Bears, Brown Bears. Bears, Bears, Bears!
Could this be right? Could the conditions be such that at the time of all these encounters they had mistaken Bears for large hominids?
Is he really going to stay a myth and legend instead of flesh and blood? Will it be that the Shroud of Turin is really another Davinci masterpiece after all?  All of the Bigfoot photos, footprint molds, structures, etc. - could they really all be mirages of our minds when were in those deep woods at night?
We may never have that answer in our lifetime.  When you die. Supposedly, you get all the answers to your questions right? The answer to Life, the Universe and Eveything. Here’s to hoping that will include him too.

He Does Exist..The Semi-Autobiographical Tale of Dyatlov Pass

Image
On yet another glorious snowy morning in Massachusetts, the 3rd one in as many weeks, I sat out in the doorway just watching it all come down. I couldn't help but think-what if I was outside lost and stranded? What if the abominable snowman exists and is out hunting right now?  It made me think of a tale, a true tale, of an abominable snowman that was out prowling, that did hunt people. He currently resides in the icy slopes of Dyatlov Pass, in the Ural Mountains of Russia. I feel relatively safe telling his tale from this location. It would be a lot of work for him to get here. But just in case, I have a Louisville Slugger near my door. His tale is the most frightening one I've ever heard and has haunted me since I first heard of it many years ago. (Many? Did my editor put that word in)?It's a scary tale because it is real...and we have proof. On February 2nd, 1959. Nine unsuspecting college students entered the liar of a Yeti and didn't survive to tell this tal...

And you DON'T Believe in Bigfoot?!

Image
So, you still don’t believe in Bigfoot?...Well that’s fine.  With all the crazy creatures floating around in this world ... Bigfoot is the no go. Our own existence on this planet is something that should cause us to say "hmmm". How are we here? Why do we look the way we do? Just what makes us tick? That is where belief comes in. Some put their existence all on heavenly cards...while others put it all on the scientific ones. So, who is right or wrong? If our own existence is still somewhat in question, why would other creatures seem so far fetched? Have you seen some of the unbelievable creatures that live on the land, in water, and in the sky? I will tell you this...I would (and do) believe in a Sasquatch before I would believe in some of these creatures that are actually already established as real. Let’s explore some, shall we... The Barreleye Fish. Not sure, but I think I can see it’s BRAIN!!!! The Goblin Shark..Really! This is real! ...

Warning ⚠️ Squatching May be Hazardous to Your Health 

Image
I have always enjoyed my time in the great outdoors, whether I am at a beach, the dog park or Squatching. You couldn’t coerce me back in the house. In the summer months I’m literally outdoors from dawn till dusk, but lately I’ve noticed that all these outdoor activities are starting to become hazardous to my health.              Chris Farley in Black Sheep I’m used to the constant Chris Farley type trips I do daily, sometimes, most times, it’s usually in a public forum. The grocery store while the floor was wet, Maggie’s doggy day care in front of the owner and when I was teaching a million times tripping over the kids in front of everyone and on film too! I was used to it. I never bothered to  jump up to see if anyone was looking, because I knew they were. Sure it’s funny now, or even then, but this last year I’m doing the same maneuvers but I’m actually starting to feel these falls. Things are starting to get real here. After talking to some f...
