Thanks to those of you who made suggestions. I will try to make things....interesting.
That being said. My thought for this evening....Sasquatch.
I do love the big guy, in fact, Sasquatch was my nickname for a very, very long time. I still respond to the name. If you see me on the street, just yell, "Hey Sasquatch!" I'll turn, let out a loud "wookie" yarp and lumber slowly for a few steps before disappearing into my surroundings.
So, why can't we find the big lug? Some think he doesn't exist, but I say we will never find him. We are simply not looking hard enough and have not provided enough resources for the search. Consider this. There are millions of acres of wilderness where Sasquatch lives. Millions!!! He knows the terrain, nice cozy spots and exactly where the dear and antelope play. Can you say the same of your own city, town or even neighborhood. Have you ever gone for a walk and noticed something you've passed a thousand times only to ask yourself, "When in the HELL did they build that?!?" I'm sure you have. So why would we be surprised that we wonder only a few acres into dense wilderness for only a few hours, even days and marvel as to why we never find Sasquatch?
Let's alter things a bit, just a smidgen. Let's say Sasquatch was leading a team into a city to find a human with Heterochromia Iridum (different colored eyes, one blue/one brown, you get the idea). Now we, being human, know that this condition exists, maybe you've even know someone....but to Sasquatch.....WOW! Imagine THAT, a human with different colored eyes!
Sorry, just an aside here, I just imagined a snippet from the "Bigfoot" Discovery Channel where an eyewitness gave testimony that they saw the elusive human with "Funny Eyes".
"There I was, poking around my favorite ant hill, diggin' for the chewy ones, when this human popped out wearing a backpack and zubaz. I think I startled him. I was scared too, but all I could do was stand there as the human let out an ear piercing scream as he gazed me down with his eyes......his DIFFERENT COLORED EYES.....it was freaky man. It still haunts me to this day."
Anyway, so let's say this team of Sasquatch goes to the nearest town to find a human with H.I. Good luck. Even if they searched every square inch of every single building, home or area even touched by a human, the chances of them finding the exact town, at the exact time, with the exact condition are unimaginable. And that is a mapped city with addresses, names, exact locations found on Google Earth and by the IRS!
Now compare that to say, oh....an ENTIRE forest! We don't stand a chance. So, I say, let Sasquatch live in peace. Leave him alone, let him have his occasional sighting and scare a few people and be done with it. That is, unless the federal government is willing to fully fund Sasquatch research. In that case, I need to form a team and start on a 25 year plan to document, observe and film ( but never capture or harm) Sasquatch. By my estimate, I'll need $45,000,000.
Who's with me?
Haha, I wanna hear the "loud 'wookie' yarp."
