Sigh. I remember the summer when the media was going gaga over shark attacks.

Somehow global warming has got to be the cause.

They are weird, aren’t they?

Too much expose to Walt Disney these days weakens the brain.

Good thing that mountain lion was there to save this kid from that evil pit bull.

Maybe not. I had a large lab cross that was attacked by a mountain lion and he lived. The vet confirmed it was a large cat because of the bites on the face and the scratches on the belly.

More details here. It seems the kid got the cougar on its shoulder while it was engaged with the dog, and it then ran away. It's not like he had a big ninja battle with the cat.

In this article, he also describes the cougar as the same size as his dog. In the other story, he said it was twice as big. I think it was probably a young, small cougar, otherwise it would have eaten the dog long before the kid got back.

Wow, I didn’t realize there were actually places that banned pit bulls! Glad you were able to find a solution.

“Best thing that’s happened was when people were allowed to pack in national parks this year.”

I was not aware of that. Thanks for the good news.

Yeah, the commies and old folks have taken over a lot of cities. No fireworks. No pitbulls. No beer drinking on your front porch.

parsy, who don’t use no seatbelt, either

Hell, they even got laws now where you can’t set a trailer up in some neighborhoods because of zoning and “Bill of Assurances”. Bunch of durn elitist snobs did it.

parsy, who still has his trailer in case he needs it again
