The Silver State Chronicles

This is a dream come true!

Well, folks who know me well know that I am a longtime fan and admirer of that shy creature of the pacific northwest, Sasquatch.  A mighty, misunderstood being, I have always felt that he was most likely quite friendly, and merely reacts with fear when he encounters human beings.  If we could demonstrate to his species that we mean him no harm, I am sure he would be far more social!

Well, I’m poking around some sites checking out those creepy Beijing 2008 Olympic mascots, and I encounter a link to the official mascots of the 2010 Olympics to be held just to the north of the USA the city with the most nordic-looking fashion models per capita, friendly Vancouver.

Needless to say, what I discovered thrilled me!

Vancouver 2010 Olympic Mascots

So I look at Miga, who I suspect is an obnoxious French penguin.  Then I look at Sumi, who I suspect is a gay mountain climber.  OK, it’s Canada so suppose that makes sense.  Then my attention shifts to the large mascot in the middle – despite the earmuffs and snow shoes, I immediately figure it must be Sasquatch.

I must be wrong – no way that my old pal Sasquatch would be given such a prominent promotional push for the Olympics.  That would be great for his career!  So I click on the icon to get to the bottom of it.

Turns out I was right – the mascot is indeed ‘Quatchi,’ The Sasquatch!

Needless to say, the Vancover Olympics will be must see tv!

Sasquatch Near Sin City?

Art Bell’s Coast to Coast radio show is often filled with stories of the strange and unusual. But this weekend, he reported a story that broke on The Chattanoogan: seems like some folks caught video of ol’ Bigfoot right here in my backyard!

The story reports…

Lindsay Lemmon and Austin McGee said after returning from a trip out west, they found that video shot out the window along I-40 in New Mexico has a glimpse of what appears to be a hulking furry figure walking.

Mr. Lemmon, a local contractor who specializes in historic homes, said, “I’m still skeptical, but it does look like a figure to me. If it was a prank, then it was awfully hot and it was out in the middle of nowhere.”

Mr. McGee, who shot the footage, is much more positive. He said, “I believe it whole-heartedly. Every time I look at it on the VCR I see a figure with real long arms hanging below the knees. He is walking and swinging those arms.”

He said a close examination of the figure reveals “a tan round face.”

Can’t wait to see the full video! If it’s compelling enough, I will once again don my pith helmet & safari gear and lead an expedition to capture the cagey beast once and for all! If he is indeed close to Las Vegas, the game is afoot!
