    “New Evidence of Bigfoot” the new (old) TV series. Bigfoot has been on TV since heck was a pup, I have a list of suspects as to Bigfoot’s identity-but I might get lucky and have the “real Bigfoot stand-up.” Of course that would mean the producers and actors of Bigfoot would need to hut new jobs.

It took me four hours to put up my Christmas tree this year.  It’s a beautiful tree, but it’s one of those that you have to put together one limb at a time from the ground up.  It isn’t pre-lit, which means I had to string lights over and through each limb before moving on to the next.

    Custser lost the battle of the Little Big Horn because he was outgunned. The U.S. Cavalry had one-shot, breach loading rifle. The Sioux Indians had 16-shot Henry repeating rifles.. lever action. That's 16 to 1, if my ratio and preportion serves me correctly. We're told that the military at that time could not afford the 16-shot Henrys.
