One each, knucklehead, present and reporting for duty. I'm back in the Lone Star state, and just woke from a long "nap" after my 20.5 hour drive from Orlando, Fl. Had a good trip, made some new friends, saw and did lots of fun stuff, but now I'm dog tired and content to cool my heels a bit.
Hope everbody is doing well, and none of y'all got et by bears or such while I was gone. :D ;)

Thanks Jake. Don't know quite what to make of Florida anymore, I still love it, but it ain't the Florida of my youth. Orlando has suffered such an explosion of urban sprawl that I find it virtually unrecognizable. Maybe I've become too laid back and Texas-fied, but that place reminded me of nothing so much as a stirred up ant mound. Considering the disturbing rate at which land is being developed in Florida, it's no wonder the gators are getting a bit surly. :grumpy:

Welcome back.
There's a bit of dog hair apparently ingrained into your chair...not sure what the story is; looks to have been quite an impact.

That was you? I thought it was a large bird being attacked by a small, legless, reptile. Time to get new glasses. :rolleyes: ;) :D

Funny you mention that. There was talk about bear-defence, and how we'd expect you to whip up a historically-accurate model of something to help in that line...

Good to have you back.

Bears ain't no problem, hunt 'em with dogs, spears, and short swords/daggers, same as boar. I do, however, find one primitive hunting technique sort of fascinating. The Timucuan indians of Florida would hunt large alligators by employing a gang of men wielding a log. The log was thrust at the gator until he clamped his jaws down on it, at which point the men would twist the log, rolling the gator onto his back. This exposed the gator's relatively soft underbelly to attack by arrows, spears, et cetera. Them were some pretty brave fellows. :eek:

I'm sure you're right. It is a real measure of where we've come, that a story of a man who killed an attacking bear with his dog and hunting knife made nationwide news last week. In pre-firearms days, it would have been, well, a kinda expected event. With doubtless quite a few expected casualties.

Hunting an alligator with a log ... yikes.
