Bear Thoughts & Human Encounters
The Blue berries are good this year, the fish down in the rivers are fat, the grass tastes sweet in the valleys but a little dry in the high alpine. The squirrels and chipmonks are far too easy to catch and it’s not much fun, but like them, who don’t have the energy to run fast, nor do I.. to chase them…. and I hate it when they’re too easy …..I’d rather do without !!

Jack and the Runaway Train During the great depression of the 1930’s unemployed people in North America frequently rode freight trains across the continent in an endless pursuit to find work.

Witchcraft Voodoo and the Paranormal
Witchcraft Voodoo & the Paranormal I am not a religious person, in the traditional sense, but I am a believer!! I believe in humanity, in people…..who…..for the most part…..I trust! I believe in Heaven and Hell! – Heaven a place of extreme beauty, of panoramic scenery and blue skies, of creatures great and small, of human kind.. of all ethnic origins, of tall green trees and short brown ones, of a myriad of flowers in a myriad of colors – Heaven is here on Earth where I live and Hell is too – if I let it!
