Oh, yeah, forgot about Ken's "big" red cape...and little tights...

Just kiddin, Monsta - some folks like 'em...


And I got an email about a month ago, NoMo, from a guy that once worked with me. He lives up next to the OK/TX line now and told me they are going to Paris, Texas, too - looking for Ol 'Foot. I wonder if I could tag along with my camera? I would love to take some pics and post them....so I can get laughed at, ridculed, and thrown, drawers and all, under the bus...

I spent the last 3 days plowing snow. Average was less the 3 mpg. But man the power of the V-10 pushing over a foot of snow is worth every dime I spent at the pump.

LOL- I grew up farther North than "Bigfootville" and, until that show came out, I never knew there were any reports in the state. I still think it's just a big hairy Arkansas hillbilly!

As for the mileage thing, found out today that I'm going to have to start driving into the office again- no more working from home. Guess I'll finally find out just how good or bad the economy of my truck really is.

I spoke to a guy in Idabel, OK once that swears Bigfoot lives in OK, especially along the Kiamichi (sp?) Mountain range. He was coon hunting one night when his dog came running past him with his tail tucked, yelping like it was shot with High Life. The guy went around a thicket of honeysuckle and there it was, looming 5 foot above a 5 ft, 6-wire barbed wire fence. Said he beat the dog back to the truck....

Back OT - I've been driving my F350 to work for years, but it's not that far to the office. The interstate is about a half mile from the office, 11 miles IH to my road, and about 9 miles home. I don't bother looking at the MPG since I know it's not gonna get 22 mpg...
