First FL convention pix. RayC opening up.

:
Well if we held it in a certain area of Nevada we could possibly go 24 hours a day in the wilderness since it probably still glows in the dark there.
And who knows if there just happened to be an alien invasion we could prevent it. I mean who in their right mind, even aliens, would mess with a bunch of old and young, male and female, crazed khukuri knuts wielding their favorite khukuri's? Besides we would have Tsimi Hollering, "I DO NOT HAVE HIKV!!!! That would be enough to scare off even the dreaded
Delta Force!!

Shoot if all the main character Heros in all the Sci-Fi stories would have had khukuris there wouldn't even be a real story.
It would go something like this...... "The B-E-M* came down the ramp to Its spacecraft and at the bottom of the ramp stood, insert favorite character here, with his/her favorite khukuri just waiting and the B-E-M* upon seeing the huge Ghorka Knife Immediateley turned around and ran back into the craft and then the ramp ascended back into the spacecraft and with the utmost power the spaceship took off and leaped into the sky never more to return."

*B-E-M = Bug-Eyed-Monster for all you youngens.

Tom you can use any of that story line you would like to with my blessings.

And I would really like to know what happened to all the B-E-M* stories.
They were among my favorites.:-)

So who's interested in meeting at "ground zero" in the Nevada Desert?
The "glow" should really make the Nepali Dancers stand out and perhaps add an extra zest to the Nepali Dishes and maybe the kamis could just push a little dirt back and have a forge hot enough to hammer out a khukuri for all of us.....

Yvsa, still overloaded from too much catfish.:-)

Bro maybe it was the salsa. The Ryan's here now has several Mexican-American ladies and I am almost certain one of them made the salsa. It had just the right mount of everything and is absoutely the best salsa I ever ate!!!!

Uncle/Yvsa,

This talk about Nevada and salsa got me thinking (if you could call it that)- what about doing the Konvention at the Valley of Fire? Cool place.

If I had to pick just one vice it would be salsa.

Also Uncle, big cat update- my neighbor, who is a rancher has spotted two
lionesses with young hunting this immediate area. Incidently, he has lost three calves recently to feral dog packs, and has shot nine of them so far. The coyotes don't seem to be competeing well with the dogs.

If there's one thing I absolutely detest it has to be feral dogs and cats.
And right up there with them are the people who cause and add to the problem by dumping animals!!!
The dayumed things breed like rabbits and Always do a better job than the local fauna at wiping out the natural game and cattle.
The next on my list is the so called
"tame" ordinary pets that people allow to run loose in suburban/country areas.
When they "pack up" they are no longer pets, but a menace to everything that moves up to and including human beings.
There was an incidence a few years back of a rancher up by Collinsville, but in Tulsa County, that shot and killed some "pet" dogs that were killing his calves and some sheep.
The problem came about when he only wounded one and the dog made it home.
A lawsuit was filed against the rancher and he lost, had to pay some fines and all the medical bills on the "pet" dog as well as court costs.
It cost him several thousand dollars in the end.
Had he lived just a mile or so north in Washington County the case would have been thrown out of court since Washington County is an agricutural county and Tulsa an urban county where the laws surrounding pets are different.
I know it would have been different if a child had been caught and klled by these so called "pet"
dogs!!!

I think anyone who is caught dumping any kind of animal should be made to live without any comforts of so called civilization for about 3 months or so and see if they starve to death or catch all kinds of diseases and all the other things that befall dumped animals, maybe even shot at and wounded.
Sorry for the diatribe and getting the post totally off topic, but this is something I feel real strongly about.

Yvsa,

"Dumping" is exactly where these dogs come from. I am in total agreement with every thing you say. Feral dog packs are particularly dangerous to livestock and people as they are familiar with the sight and scent of humans and aren't afraid- probably have a grudge too. A lot of them are pretty scrawny, but some are full-sized large dog mixes. If having a strange dog walk right up to you with a deadly serious look on your neigborhood street disturbs you, imagine eight or so doing the same in a place with no streets at all in sight.

What was RayC doing?

It's a problem, Bro, and not much we can do about it. The root is people problem and result is half wild animal problem -- no good.

Ray has just set up a part of his collection and is waiting for the first conventioneers to appear. They started walking in maybe 15 minutes after this pix was taken.
