My Story

First, let me be fair about an issue I chronicled in the last post: The F-150 was paid for, and none of the other creditors pursued us in court. Secondly, hoping that people will change is a very long shot. I can think of only one person who did that. He was a paranoid, rigid, fatty who was not nice to me, his subordinate. He was married to a knock-out blonde who appeared very cold. . This man suffered a huge trauma in his life when his wife left for Florida with a clerk at the (Virginia) Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) store. She not only deserted her husband but left a little boy. This was a earth-shaking event for this man and subsequently  I heard that he had become all love and flowers. I observed that he started wearing leisure suits and didn't sneer at me anymore in the hall or in the nurses' station where we tanked up on coffee. Thinking that a person will change is a tall, rarely filled, order.
  To begin a new entry, I want to reveal another tall order: I hope to video Bigfoot in Ocala (Florida) National Forest. It is about sixty miles away and some very interesting encounters have been happening this year. A good video of Bigfoot would end my money problems. I must have been exposed to Bigfoot through a movie or something at a very early age because I had a recurrent nightmare of being in a cabin,
unarmed and terrified, in the middle of a large, green field with numerous animals either bears or Bigfoot walking around the cabin.on their hind legs.The scenario makes me think of Fred Beck's and the other four miners' cabin at Ape Canyon, Washington State, being besieged by Bigfoot. In that battle, one Bigfoot was shot off a cliff, and Fred Beck was knocked out for two hours by a rock a  Bigfoot lobbed through a hole in the roof of the cabin. I know this sounds too bizarre to be true but look at it this way: I have done some hunting and fishing in Florida plus traveled the roads for the past 15 years. I have never seen a bear. Does that mean there are no bear in Florida? Absolutely not! There are thousands.  Some bowhunters report they have to throw rocks at them so they can climb down from their  treestands safely. Additionally, black bears as big as 700
pounds are supposedly being shot by hunters in eastern North Carolina  near the Outer Banks where dead fish are available for food.That's easily Bigfoot size.
  At any rate, Fred Beck and the other four miners were so fearful after an all-night battle with the Bigfoot that they walked out to civilization leaving everything behind but their rifles. These were not willy-nilly men. They had lived at that cabin for four years while they dug for minerals.They eventually got a ride to the
rangers' station at Spirit Lake, eight miles from Ape Canyon. Fred Beck went inside to tell his story to the ranger while the other men stayed in the car. Later, the ranger went out to the car to interview the four miners and found them still huddled in the car, clutching their rifles, and obviously petrified.
  Lasting terror is a hallmark of many Bigfoot sightings. It makes me wonder at times if these creatures are supernatural, and that is what disturbs humans so much. On the other hand, they are so big and muscular humans know that they are helpless even if they have a gun, and the creature charges. That's got to be a terrifying situation. I've read many stories of them being shot, even repeatedly, yet have read of only one being killed. That one was shot in Colorado by two young men from Idaho. They feared they had broken a law and buried the Bigfoot. Another good video like the Patterson-Gimlin one would shed a lot of light on this controversy.
