But it will pass. Our area’s biggest festival, Hillbilly Days, which benefits the Shriners’ Children’s hospitals, is this weekend. Talk about cryptids … people come from all over the world to dress and act like, well, hillbillies. We poke fun at our stereotypes, enjoy mountain music (no electric or electronic instruments allowed) and crafts. There’s always a “Bigfoot” or two joining the celebrations too.

Y’all come!

Thanks for the well wishes and sharing of what else is going on out there.

My power briefly came on for me to post the above blog, and then it went off for most of the rest of the day. Even when the power came back, it was several more hours of no phone and no internet/emails.

With power back, I discovered that my minor basement flooding and internet problems were nothing compared to what happened today in Virginia. I learned about the VA Tech news of 33 dead in a college shooting. I was immediately overwhelmed with requests to be interviewed by Canadian media. Due to the acceptance of my book, The Copycat Effect north of the border, especially since the Dawson college shootings on Sept. 13, 2006. Many people remembered I had predicted this week would be a dangerous one for more school shootings. Unfortunately, I was correct.

Take care everyone…

Last years May flooding was bad, but the widespread nature of this one is a bit different. Even a major western route on 101 (runs from Portsmouth to Keene) is closed down due to a land slide, may be days before it is running again (down around the Milford / Wilton line).

Of course time was present to stop and snap a few pictures…..

You know my great interest in Cassie, only around here we sometimes call her Glossie after the Gloucester reports. Are there anly reports at all lately. Have we fished away most of her food sources? Has she relocated for better weather? Whats your feeling?

Speaking of where do cryptids go in bad weather (probably the same place other animals go), How many certain North West Critters could have gotten buried when Mt. St. Helens blew? Could the proof be sitting there under a pile of ash?

Again hang in there.

BTW, what H/H curse?
