Real News: Bigfoot

While some of my fellow bloggers discuss the controversy surrounding the Beijing Olympics, dams bursting in the Grand Canyon and unrest in the Middle East; I, Jaspenelle Stewart, bring you the real news. One that is near and dear to those of us in the Pacific Northwest.

(Can I get a drum roll?)

Georgia men defend Bigfoot body claims

A pair of Georgia men faced more than a half-hour of skeptical questions from reporters Friday as they defended their claim that they stumbled upon the body of Bigfoot while hiking in a remote North Georgia forest. [Read more...]

So many questions arise that the reporters forgot to ask!

What was one of our bigfoot families doing in Georgia? Did aliens help them move? Damn paparazzi, so hard to get away from. Perhaps the Booteans helped them move. Knowing our bighearted bigfoot, he invited Mothman and the Jersey Devil the housewarming party too. I bet they sat around the campfire smoking bud and drinking Molson and singing Kumbaya.

The biggest question though, how did one of the sasquatch die? So help me if it was one of those trigger happy rednecks shot him! Donchaknow they are endangered?! Send the WWF after them! (…or the WWE for that matter… rednecks might understand that better.)

The truth is out there.

Spokane Valley is on fire

Michael and I have been fixated on channel 2, I hope everyone got out of the homes safely and that the firefighters stay safe too.

Hello fire season (and the arson psychopaths that come with it…)

SPOKANE VALLEY — Fire crews are battling a fire that is spreading east on the outskirts of the Dishman Hills area. (read more…)

We had our handfasting in the Dishman Hills Conservation Area if that puts it into perspective for anyone. Guesstimating using google maps it is about 3 miles from our place but it is burning in the opposite direction. They have evacuated 15 blocks west of Dishman-Mica so far and that area keeps growing. The fire is spreading really fast, it is 500+acres at the moment (edit: now its 1000 acres.)

There is also a three alarm fire at the Ugly Duck too, which is in Spokane. It is a furniture liquidator, that one was arson (…again, this would be the seventh arson there in the past 4 years.)

We have a red flag warning today so this is really the worst time possible for these fires (and the others burning in the Inland Northwest.) The winds are starting to die down enough that they can get a tanker plane up to help get the Dishman fire under control though. It is amazing seeing the pine trees go up like match sticks, and homes too (we just watched one burn down in under 10 minutes.) It is so important for people to make defensible space around there homes, if you don’t the firefighters will have a tough time protecting your home if they can at all.
