Halloween Has Come Early

Oct 09, 2011 14:51

Well, Halloween has come early to the neighborhood. The roomie and I were out winterizing the swamp cooler and all the other neighbors are out with their kids enjoying the beautiful fall day. They start clustering around something in the grass, the kids are freaking and yelling, "It's real! It's real!" We get curious, go over and look, and lo and ( Read more... )

Or....

Since it's bear season, a hunter with a sick twisted mind left it out to freak people out, or his dog ran off with it. Wasn't chewed on, didn't stink yet from decay, was pretty fresh.

Is it a sign of a sick mind I thought the whole incident was kinda cool? But then, you've read my McKeague stories....

Yeah, I've been remiss on LJ. Just haven't been feeling very social since the muse has become a desiccated corpse behind the couch.

Okay, ewww and also, why? Why would there be a skinned bear paw lying about?

For some reason that made me think of were Bear Rodney and that really creeped me out.

Okay, yes, it could be a hunter or an inquisitive dog but still, ewww.

Yeah, it was creepy.

I had to laugh at the moms and kids - the boys kept trying to touch it and the moms were "NO!". The cop that came out was pretty weirded out, too, so I went out and talked to him for a few minutes and gave him my physical anthropology based reasons why I was sure it wasn't human.

Hey, I better check today's sheriff's log - bet it's mentioned!

She Lives!!!

Wow, a choppod off bear paw? Yikes!

Yup, still alive. But since I don't have a high stress job anymore, the muse has gone into hibernation - doesn't need to be in overdrive to keep me sane anymore. Crap.

Oh, found out a few nights back that a second bear paw had been found in the complex, too. Not sure where - was mentioned at the home owner's meeting. Someone had a sick sense of humor.

Yuck! Definately a twisted sense of humor indeed.

By-the-by, I made an ebook (epub format) of your Project Atlantis series. I can sed you the file if you'd like or a download link if you'd like to share if with other folks.

Just let me know.
