Protecting our environment in some ways is akin to saving an endangered species. For
instance, it’s really not a good idea to try to feed raw meat to a snow leopard from
your bare hand. Maybe I’m a little sensitive because I live in Tornado Alley, but
this guy, well never mind let me just tell you….

A former NASCAR driver in Charlotte, N.C. has spent tons of money building a car
called Tornado Attack, to drive head long into a tornado in the name of stupid, I
mean science. He says of the car, “Tornado Attack was designed to attack tornadoes,
that’s why it’s an attack. And we hunt tornadoes, we don’t chase them. We hunt (more…)

A Skunk Tail … uh Tale

I can freely tell you this with no fear of repercussion
as my brother will never know. To him the internet is a
little net within the ‘outter net’ that separates bait

Never seen without his hat and boots, he truly is better

and sometimes an unmitigated lunatic.

Skunks are still called Polecats in this neck of the woods.
Altho the two terms are very interchangeable. The smell tells
you the two can be no further separated on the family tree
than faternal twins. Anyway, I digress.

It was a moonlit night when the skunk came a callin’.
Causing a big ol’ ruckus under my brother’s house, and oh
Lord, the smell! Permeating every nook and cranny.

Normal protocol for this situation is just let the skunk
have his space and eventually he’ll just wander off. You
will know as the smell does a definite fade away. But,
alas, not my brother.

Einstein decides to get rid of the varmint the fastest
way he knew how – a 16 gauge shot gun – oh yes he did.
One shot got the skunk, along with a good share of the
plumbing.

Everybody knows the misery of passing a dead skunk in the
middle of the road. Now double the intensity with no time
limit on that smell’s duration.

At this point my brother made the smartest decision of his
life when he didn’t give the shot gun to his wife after she
ran out and sweetly demanded it. He had thirty minutes.
