Dude, they are extra-dimensional. Of course we aren’t going to catch them in a 3 dimensional way like a fossil. Duh…Quote:

Pretty interesting. Went to one in Utah for big foot believers.
What brought you there?Quote:

They also had an open forum for personal stories. A dozen plus people got up on stage and shared Bigfoot sightings or encounters.
Can’t spork. You got me.Quote:

He talked about the likely social dynamics and eating habits and how that might translate into habitat and ranges and food/forage area required to sustain a single squatch. The takeaway was supposed to be that the science supported their solitary nature --- and therefore the difficulty of capturing the elusive beast on camera.Quote:

I came away with the opposite takeaway but, you know, I'm biased.
Did anyone read "The Long Walk" about an escape from a Soviet labor camp during WWII? There was a reference to a Yeti while they were trying to cross the Himalayas. What struck me was how matter of fact it was. The author noted their surprise at seeing it. But that exchange was only a couple of pages. He didn't dwell on it, which lends more credibility to me. That being said, I don't believe in them. I believe in extraterrestrial life, but none that is close enough to make contact. So we aren't alone in the universe in my estimation, but we are practically alone from a visitation standpoint. Also Oswald acted alone.
"Bags of Vermont Poo" band name! Called it!
They'll be very popular in Montpoolier!Quote:

This is awful but true (and a little funny). My Scottish in-laws are big time Scottish independence supporters and hate the monarchy. They’ll be here this weekend and want to take us out to celebrate.
I won’t post any here out of respect, but I recommend searching #IrishTwitter for how some are marking the occasion for those interested.Quote:

More specifically, for the Irish, it’s like having a neighbour who’s really into clowns and, also, your grandfather was murdered by a clown.
Hmmm. That might have been partly my fault.
