Do you Believe?

Yeah, I know...not quite the animal we had in mind for today's discussion. Sorry.

Today has revealed some of the weirdest news. Not often do we hear on our sets of a bigfoot body and video of a chubacabra. I did not post any photos here due to copyrights and such but photos and video have been released of both and you may see them via the links following this post.

The Bigfoot body was found a few weeks ago, sometime in late July, in a Georgia forest by two men, Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer of bigfoottracker.com, after claiming to discover a family of them. When disclosing this information to a radio show, they announced that no one person except for famed Bigfoot hunter/expert, Tom Biscardi (www.searchingforbigfoot.com) would be allowed to examine the body. BTW, Tom Biscardi is a local in my area. Currently, DNA test and scientific examinations are bring done on the body and will be released at a press conference on Fri. 8/15 from 12:00pm-1:00pm in Palo Alto, Ca. Too bad it's only open to media, I'd love to go to that one!

The chubacaras that have been found or seen in Cuero, Texas raise huge controversy. Most people say it is some type of hairless dog or coyote. Others swear up and down that it isn't. DNA tests have been done on a body found earlier have found that it is in fact a type of coyote. I don't know what all the fuss is about, really. I think they should be publicising it as a new breed or hybrid.

Thanks for sticking with me on this one...I couldn't help myself. LOL!

I just heard the news...Randy Pausch has passed away after a long battle with cancer. Right away I started tearing up, got a lump in my throat, and my heart sank through the floor. I'm completely devastated. Because of his generosity, letting us all into his life, he became like family to so many even if we've never met him. I feel like we have all lost such a model mentor for us all. We all have something to learn from Randy. He truly had a unique way of looking at life. He didn't get lost in some rut like most of us do everyday. He took life head on and followed his dreams by upholding a great optimism. His life did come full circle as few do. I can honestly say that as I look at the achievements he has made. Although I am so sad about this loss, I am blessed to have had the opportunity to have learned from him some of the greatest lessons in my life.

If you haven't thought you have had the time to watch Randy Pausch's lecture, PLEASE do! Not only is his story a fascinating inspiration, he has a terrific humor too. Please watch his lecture, read his book, and visit his website! http://download.srv.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/
