The link didn’t work.
I remember the movie. It scared the crap out of us kids since we lived not too far from there. I watched it again as an adult. Cornball.
bkmk for later. I live not too far from the Sulphur River.
OK, OK, it’s almost Halloween.....
Well, it is a known fact:
“Hillary left Washington and “followed her heart to Arkansas,” marrying Bill Clinton in 1975.”
True story-several years ago at the power plant where I worked, we were given a week-long course on asbestos abatement. Our instructor had worked at one time for the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality.
He told us of a time when he and his crew, including a woman that the EPA had sent down from Boston, were on their way to investigate an illegal dump in Miller County. They passed a billboard with the Fouke Monster on it, and Debbie from Boston asked if the monster was real. A member of the ADEQ crew said, “We’ll, I’ve never seen it but my brother was coon hunting out here one night, and he heard a scream that scared him half to death. It couldn’t have been human!”
Debbie thought about that for a moment and asked, You still hunt black people here?”
Everyone on the crew just stared dumbfounded at Debbie, wondering what she was saying. Then a crew member said, “Raccoon, Debbie, raccoon!”
As I said, true story.

Fouke Monster / Bill Clinton?
She thought is was a baby deer, but when the vet saw it, he screamed and called the police. Click here.
In a Tampa neighborhood - Seminole Heights - there is supposed to be a two headed alligator. Now the flag of the neighborhood has the two headed alligator on it.
I suppose if it kills you, you have been Fouked?
LOL! This again? Back in the 1970s our power company was planning on running a power line in that area. Some of the big wigs and their secretaries went out to examine the site and the Boggy Creek Monster was brought up in conversation.
The guide told them a whopper about “Once we was hunting coon in that area and we heard the loudest growling and the stench was terrible!”
One of the Secretaries then asked....”Do, do you all still hunt colored people in this area?”
One of the management then said...”RA-coon, Debbie, RA-COON!”
Back in the Bottoms lives Travis Crabtree:
Hey Travis Crabtree
Wait a minute for me
Let’s go back to the bottoms
Back where the fish are biting
Where all the world’s inviting
And nobody sees
The flowers bloom but me
Hey Travis Crabtree
Do you see what I see
On the gentle winds of morning
A million birds are singing
Like the bells of heaven ringing
And nobody sees
The flowers bloom but me
Just in time for Halloween! Sent to my brother in Arkansas.
I was sitting on a bench in the pilot house and the captain told me to get up whereupon he pulled out a very large pistol, caliber unknown. It was the very wee hours of the night. "The little bast..s are going to get what they deserve this time." Baffled, I watched. Shortly, there was a car with kids on the bridge over the waterway and the captain stepped out of the wheel house and commanded me to shine a spotlight on the kids and the car. He didn't wait and started blazing away at them with the pistol to stop them from dropping large rocks on the boat. The muzzle flash and the boom of the gun shattered the night and sent the kids running for their lives as the bullets bounced off the steel of the bridge.
That summer my 18 year-old self got a very rough education that aided to convince me I very much wanted to further my education, go back to school and be a part of a hopefully more civilized life; and so I got an engineering degree and went to the oilfield.
Today, while mulling over how the pace of life goes faster at the end just like water in a basin or through a funnel goes ever faster, I was thinking of Calculus and Differential Equations. Used both little in more than 40 years of work but did put them to some use. More than anything Differential Equations taught me how to study.
