    December 7th 1941

    I don’t think that’s the issue. Pearl Harbor was 81 years ago, that’s, what, four generations? I think there’s more attention on the attacks on 9/11, mass shootings, and more recent issues that have personal impact on present day generations. There has also been a lot of historical racism...

    NFR 1963

    Two students interrupted my sophomore English class. We were all stunned. Went to my next class, biology, and the teacher, Mr. Bongers, was crying. The news that the President’s wounds were fatal. They terminated classes and we left. The rest of the day was/is blurred. Then there was Bobby...

    What are your plans for October and November?

    I much prefer the plain skull mount you have here. It just looks more natural than mounted on a block of wood. That’s a very lovely whitetail by the way!

    Why?

    Grouse hunting has always been my idea of a gentleman’s sport. Walking through thickets with a 20 gauge double behind a good pointer was just the best. Shots at birds were usually quick given the cover. The “old Washington” ruffed grouse areas on both sides of the Cascades were real treasures ...

    Beer (Without the Alcohol)

    Well, then you probably understand the difference between “sober” and “dry”? If a cocaine addict said, “I don’t do cocaine now but I enjoy smelling the cocaine cutting agent mix of : Laundry detergent Laxatives Caffeine Boric acid Local anesthetics like procaine Creatine.”. What would you say...

    Beer (Without the Alcohol)

    For those with recognized/acknowledged issues with alcohol: drinking non alcohol beer makes as much sense as someone who says they quit smoking but still put lit cigarettes in their mouths saying, “It’s not smoking because I don’t inhale.”.

    SFR: "Shark or Orca: Which Should You Fear More?"

    I don’t believe there’s ever been a documented incident of an Orca attack on humans, could be wrong. Great white sharks are relatively low in numbers and somewhat widespread. Bull sharks are numerous in warmer waters, know for their aggressiveness and range from marine waters up into fresh...

    SFR Rattlesnake behavior

    I was a biologist for the USFWS and was gifted a very freshly dead eastern diamondback rattlesnake by a DOT guy on a joint project. I put the 3ft animal in a cloth bag and headed back to town about four miles away. I parked the car, grabbed my snake-in-a-bag and walked into the federal building...
