    Ran across this link on FB. Creepy stories about search and rescue. This has probably been around for a while, but fun to read.

    I’m a Search and Rescue Officer for the US Forest Service, I have some stories to tell

        In another version of the story it’s not stairs, it a bunch of beer cans with bullet holes out in the middle of nowhere. I think his spell check is wonky.
        His dog had a cold, of course the lost person was miles away from where they were led.
        The rest of the stories are about people who are never going to admit they were searching for mushrooms, and sometime found them.

            If I ever get lost in the woods, I’m going to go find a cliff to write “I’M NOT HERE! TRY AGAIN!” and pray that the service guy isn’t like the one in the stories.

              I’ve been lost in the woods a few times, once because my older cousin left me when I was really young. I don’t really think I was lost though, cause I sat down on a rock at first scared, then a little concerned, then figured when he went back to our grandparents without me that my Poppa would come find me and he’d get a switching.

              Second time was when my brothers took me snipe hunting and I didn’t follow the rule of staying where you’re at. They begged me not to tell when I found them a few hours later while they were looking for me.

              The third and final time was when I was a teenager and me and a friend decided to go exploring, we found a beautiful clearing with a spring fed pond and flowers and large trees. Several hours later when we found our way back we wanted to show everyone what we had found and even after several attempts over several months we never could find that spot again. To this day those still alive who heard our story believe we were victims of sun stroke. lol

      Like snakes, you can not be sure a pilitician’s dead for at least 24 hours after its mouth stops moving. A lot of pundits thought Nixon was dead in ’72 until he pulled a couple of rabbits out of a hat and won 49 states.
      Hillary’s drooling deciples would vote for her were she to show up at a ralley eating babies with puppy sauce, you think any number of despots in otherwise democratic countries got in because they had haloes and smelled like roses? Her trolls will vote for her regardless while specialized propagandists on her and the DNC’s payroll will work hard at putting enough sugar on the poop to make it edible. Unless enough people who see through her BS show up and drop the Trump Towers on her we’re going to be in for at least four years of transformative hell.

        One of the persuasive points of the article is how much members of her own party dislike her (to use a mild term). And, in light of the first drive-by, they’re all but eating their own, these days. IMO, it will come down to whoever has the most evil at their fingertips–the BHO cabal or the Clinton cabal. Hard to ascertain, from this distance.

          Hillsry and Trump have high negative factors in their own parties butbit’s looking like it will come down to less of a love fest and more which party dislikes its own candidate the least. So far I’m not seeing the POtuS blowing kisses at her and offering public foot rubs. The Billary team’s gonna have to overcome the aura of The Real Black President enough to sell her on the coattails of the First Black President, and she’s gonna have to carry the Hispanic vote with limited influence in their community while balancing seperate black and Hispanic ‘want’ lists.
          Let’s hope thst the prospects of a Hillay hell overcomes enough voters waffling on Trump to pull this one out.

            We pretty much know what people like us think. But how many people really are like us? That’s the question. As excited as people who never paid attention before are acting now, will they stick with it for the long run? Plus, I’m somewhat uncomfortable with the talking point that ideologies of people in the country actually split out about 50/50 in the big picture. They say it, but is it factual? If it is generally true, that’s pretty scary all by itself.

            The misery factor is making a difference, I think. But the “other side” has tons of miserable people also.

                I knew I his, but nothing like seeing it for yourself. In the weeks before the 2012 election, my husband and I went to vote early. We had our baby granddaughter asleep in the car, so we took turns. While he voted, I watched a reporter from the Chattanooga Time Free Press surveying and interviewing voters as they exited. He allowed most people to pass without approaching them. He stopped blacks and very young voters only. I found and read his article and results. He got exactly what he set his small poll up for. Exactly. Choose your sample, get your results.

                Good point. I guess my mind trends more toward the people I interacted with all around me, rich, middle class and poor, in that big area around Washington. I met and talked to a lot of people of all ages and economic levels when I lived there, and most of them weren’t working for government or connected to politics. Most of them didn’t think like we did. Even family members of my husband who lived in West Virginia and the southern part of Virginia. Sure, there were some..especially at the shooting range. 🙂

      IMO, Yep.

      It appears that Obama has the bigger vault and the greater power. The Beast should never let the addled minded Bill go out and campaign for her, Bill poked Obama in the eye. Obama already knew Bill and Hillary despised him and there is no way on earth Michelle ever forgave or forgot Bill’s comment about “A few years ago he would be serving us coffee.” Bill and Hillary Clinton are the type of people who nurtured and enflamed Michelle’s hatred of America.

      I believe that the Obama’s have been seething that they had to play nice with the racist Clintons for the last 8 years. Remember how much the Obama’s hate America and remember they were forced to play into the part of the America they so despised because the Clintons demanded it of them.

      Imagine the bad blood between them.

      My guess is that there is no way Obama is going to allow The Beast the power of the presidency, because he knows she is a cut throat, hateful, backstabbing, revenge driven, sadistic, disloyal, fiendish, manipulative, elitist who lauded her power over the Obamas for 8 years, The Beast will damage Obama as soon as she is free to do so. Obama has got to know this.

      As the economy continues to tank, as Muslims continue to savagely attack and slaughter innocents, as BLM continues to assassinate officers and terrorize white people, as cities continue to crumble, as women and children continue to be savagely raped, all which is inevitable under a Clinton presidency, The Beast would have no other option than to blame Obama as the world continued to burn.

      For the first time I think The Beast is toast.

      Now for a total guess, The Beast withdraws from the race to once again play the doting wife to the now ailing Bill. Huma and The Beast get one wing of the house(s) Bill and the blonde(s) get the other.

      The Beast IMO looks near a breakdown or stroke. She cannot psychologically handle reality.

      Bumbling Biden rides in on his white horse (is that racist? ) and saves the day.

        I have often contemplated that Obama has chosen a strategic moment to knife her and Bill in the back, or maybe in the front. It certainly would be something to see. One thing that did occur to me — who knows how many secrets about the other, and/or does one group have more radioactive secrets? Or a scandal that would bring them all down together, so they’re all held in check?

              True, but the same general people are behind them both.

              In Obama they have a duped ideologue who is dangerous because of the power behind him and his ideology, Obama for all the evil he has promoted and the damage he has done, does so with the heartlessness of an ideologue. Obama is a pitchman for the PTB because he believes that hugging a Hiroshima survivor makes the world a better place. Obama hates America because he thinks it is noble and moral to hate America.

              Clinton is simply a monster, she is and has always been only concerned with her money and her power. She will be a much more destructive president than Obama as she is aware of the power structure and the goals of the string pullers and she is aware that it is destroying our country but Hillary is only concerned about what benefit anyone and any action can be to her.

              Clinton does not hate America she sees America as a mark. And she is going to screw America out of every penny she can regardless of how much damage she causes.

              Obama’s disregarding the rule of law will pale in comparison to what Hillary will do with the power of the presidency. She has always blatantly abused her power without reproach. Hillary knows she will be held unaccountable as that is the way it has been for her entire public life. She will kill at will.

        Sort of afraid to ‘like’ that, it could be misunderstood. Well heck, why would this Pope turn his progressive cassock on Europe and center his sights on countries that speak Spanish….gotta think on that one. While he’s at it he’d better check those stats on the growth of Islam in both South America and Africa AND look closely at the Philippines. They PI has such a growth in aggressive Islam that the US has reopened old bases in Mindanao. There also may be infiltration of fundamentalists from Indonesia, the largest Moslem nation in the world, a hotbed of fundamentalist rabble.
        This Pope’s abandoned the Church for Neverland Ranch, let’s hope that when the Rock Worshipers take over Italy they recognize the sanctity and inviolability of the Vatican.

Even though this one’s over a thousand miles away and heading NE the weather shriekers dwell on it and end their mini horror shows with “and don’t worry, it’s not predicted to come here and destroy your possessions while killing all you hold dear….BUT we’ll be here monitoring the situation and tell you if it changes course……..

          Problem is they start calling for a evac days before a hit, usually on a hunch. Pre-Katrina we had a couple of evacs that cost these evacuees dearly cash-wise so it was a late outflow for K. Now after you taxpayers have graciously given NOLA billions of tax dollars, many of which were not stolen, tne city’s been touting the levee protection that covers a lot but not all of the city. That chest thumping will make it hard for a lot of folks, especially post-K immigrants, to ignore the ‘hurticane party’ atmosphere and the next big evac call should be interesting.

            If you are in Florida and you need to evacuate, you best do it about a week before they announce it. Otherwise, you could sit out the hurricane on the road heading north, since that is really the only way to go. 😯

              NOLA’s problem is that the only really viable ways out of town are east/west along the I-10 or north on the causeway over Lake Pontchartrain. If you evac east or west you may be running into more evacuees as the hurricane wobbles and other areas start to pull out, as happened in Katrina. Let’s not get into the dead cars in traffic that stop the entire migration.
              Then we have small towns along the evac route, like mine, who remember the problems evacuees caused in Katrina and will have the cops out preventing anything but dtopping for food/gas from stations that don’t close to save resources for locals who’ll stay. No homesteading the streets and business parking lots waiting for the storm to pass, leaving huge piles of trash for the city to clean ip.

          That’s exactly what happened to us! I was on Hilton Head. Hurricane Hugo Category 4 headed right at us. Whole island ordered to evacuate. Husband working in D.C. He had to jump in car and race home. Police tried to stop him coming across bridge onto island (only one bridge, all traffic headed out). He prevailed and was last man allowed through.

          Piled mom, dogs, ourselves into car and raced north on I-95 to Florence to a motel off interstate. Hugo came right over us there – motel across street had whole roof torn off, those big pole signs fallen on cars in parking lots, billboards, parts of buildings everywhere. It was bad. No electricity or water, and many trips to the pool with the ice bucket so we could flush.

          Went back on 95 next day though we were told not to. Miles and miles of trees on both sides of highway just snapped right off…usually at the same height. Desolation, like bombs had dropped…some futuristic end-time movie. Stuff all over the lanes so we crept along and around obstacles. Got home and found a few branches blown off onto our lawn.

        Your recap of the weather hysterics is spot on. I remember when I was working in Connecticut how year after tyear, there would be frenzied reporting about — are you sitting down? — the first snowfall — as if New Englanders had never, ever seen the stuff before.

        I don’t have a TV, so read news online, but even the online weather forecasts have flashing warning lights and angry red coloring whenever there is more than a light breeze or summe shower. OMG! We are in “red zone” for the next 10 minute summer rain! Aiyeeeee!

          In ’98 with hurricane Georges looking as if it were going to hit New Orleans we had one of our weatherpersons have an almost nervous breakdown on-air. We were going to be submerged in a sea of churning water. iIt was going to take the worst-case scenario course, coming directly up the Mississippi River ripping the levees apart, pushing a multi-story high wall of water up the river and over the land, we were going to die in DROVES,!!!!! Hysteria, flailing of arms, gnashing of teeth with the whites of eyes prominently displayed.
          It was entertainment, if I wanted information I went to another channel where, in times of public panic, they’d drag Nash Roberts, a retired and respected local forecaster, back to soothe and inform. The new generation used computer this and that, Nash used a big felt tip marker, an outline map of the Gulf and a large easel-mounted note pad to do his presentation. Once I got the straight poop from Nash I went back to the other channel for my adrenaline/drama fix.
          Sonce then every little rainstorm’s been presented by every drama queen weatherguesser as impending doom. Pictures of people walking in toe-deep water are presented as a life-changing deluge. Idiots who’ve ignored generations of advice about not driving into standing water are shown as they float in their bobbing cars, presented as innocent victims overcome by surges of water that caught them unaware – and don’t forget the usual panic about Climate Chaaannnnggggeeeeee.
          It’s freaking weather, not a Greek tragedy complete with musical accompaniment. They are supposed to inform, not scare the living **** out of the public, only thing missing is reports of roving zombies carrying umbrellas.
          We have roughly six months of noon and night panic reporting about hurticanes, even if the Gulf and Atlantic are clear. In times when there are no storms we get narratives of death and destruction complete with pictures of prople being plucked from rooftops by helicopters or rescued by boats. No pix of bodies floating in the waters but that ain’t for lack of trying. Starting in June we pray for a quick December.

          Watch out in N. Ga. and South Carolina. This baby will intensify when it hits the Gulf Stream just before landfall. Especially if it is going slow.

              N. Ga.? Get batteries and tie loose stuff in the yard down, make popcorn, get a drink, and watch TV. Most of the danger is on the coast. The hurricane loses steam as it crosses the land.

          Malloy enjoys shutting down roads now “shelter in place” as if no one had any common sense. People would give me looks when I first remarked on what it really was, martial law.

    Went out earlier this evening to close up the garage and found that the outside cat had caught on of the rabbits eating our garden, leaving his mortal coil on the garage floor. Not having much else I could do with it I returned him to the garden he previously, and may yet, haunted.
    Went out with the dog for her final trip out before bed and checked the garden – no rabbit corpse but lotsa little footprints in the damp soil that could have been coons or skunks – the circle of life.

    This interview just left me shaking my head. Greenspan has made the shocking announcement that the economy is a mess. Gee, ya think? So, I guess he thinks we need to double down on what we are doing now.

    Hi guys. Back from doctor. Thank you for prayers and good thoughts sent my way. I’ll keep it short. I kept my cool and was calm because basically nothing happened. I could have gone in and talked to a machine, which would ask me about 3 questions and then say: “Wait. Required. Test. Orders. Will. Be. Printed.”

    He was a Level 2 doctor. Level 1 is the Nasty Attack Dog. He is the Robot Drone. He promotes himself as a Rheumy and Internist. But oopsie – he’s not an internist anymore because he didn’t keep up his certification (just conveniently leaves it out there on media.) So he will only prescribe the one shot I take for RA. No interest whatsoever, even to respond to questions I asked about the arthritis. His interest was ordering thousands of dollars worth of blood work and X-rays for their medical center. Fibro, another of his specialties? “Does your back hurt?” Well, yeah. “Let me see your fingers.” Ok. That was it. So I will go back there next month and see 2 more of their doctors for the rest. If there’s a human being in there, I sure couldn’t tell.

    I knew when he walked in the door, stuck out his limp arm to shake my hand, and tried to turn up the lips to make a smile.

        Well, I’m trying to be optimistic. He has set me up with two other doctors there. Maybe one of them will be the ONE! Also, his little medical center isn’t going to get the insurance for the blood work (1 1/2 pages of different blood tests!) Haha! The assistant came in and told me there’s one test on the list they can’t do there — did I want her to just give me an order for all of it so I could go somewhere else and have one big blood draw? I was happy to accept that offer. Also, when I went for Xray, the girls were sweet. One of them said “you don’t need one of these two back xrays because the first one covers the whole area. I don’t know why they order two in these cases.” Well, I knew why. So I’m not going to do the second one. Small little payback, but still sweet.

      Have been there many times. And now the “Big Mo” is anchor behind the Arizona. Have the Japanese apologize for Their attack on Peal Harbor? How about the “Rape of Nanking” in ’37? Did Obola apologized for the 15-20 million Russians that were killed by Stalin?

    Hmmm.. Since my link about the creepy dog men didn’t go over so big I won’t include a link to this, but a man received a grant to go live as a goat.

    He has written a book about it

    GoatMan: How I Took a Holiday from Being Human’

    A small excerpt;

    Thwaites said the idea of ‘being an elephant had appealed’ but then he realised they ‘seem to have the same problems we do – they get sad, they get upset and they can even suffer from post-traumatic stress. That was exactly the sort of thing I was trying to get away from.’
    Eventually he settled on the idea of being a goat.

    Perhaps I should unfollow some characters on Twitter.

        I’m watching now. They are interviewing Don Was – he’s an old Detroit friend. I knew him in the 1970’s, when he was playing bass in a local jazz trio. Now Don is a big time producer and President of Blue Note Records. His real name is Don Fagenson.
