Wacko, football-loving bald eagle terrorizes NH residents. August 22, 2001 Rogue Bald Eagle Captured in Mass. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 3:36 p.m. ET HAMPTON BEACH, N.H. (AP) -- A bald eagle that clawed a young girl and harassed other beachgoers since late last week was captured Wednesday. Police say the eagle was caught by an animal control officer in Salisbury, Mass., near the New Hampshire line, and was brought to the Coastal Animal Clinic there, police said. Its identity was confirmed by using a photograph, police said. The eagle, which has a 6-foot wingspan, had been released into the wild from a North Carolina wildlife reserve and had been menacing people since Friday. On Sunday, it slightly injured a girl and two adults. On Tuesday, the eagle swooped down and clawed a 3-year-old girl on the back. Kayla Finn of Albany, N.Y., was running down the beach near two other children playing football. Her father brushed away the bird. She did not require medical attention. ``Other beaches have sharks, but at Hampton, we had to be different,'' said Peter MacKinnon, the town's animal control officer. ``We had to get an attack eagle.'' The bird spent most of Tuesday perched on chimneys and rooftops, sidestepping officials each time they came close. The bird, which is about 14 months old and still has brown feathers on its head, posed little real danger to humans, officials said. Beachgoers made the situation worse by feeding the eagle, officials said. ``He associates people with food and that's the worst possible situation for a wild bird,'' MacKinnon said. Because the eagle was attracted to footballs, officials later tried to lure it to the beach by tossing around a small green football. The eagle stayed out of the game. ``It's not acting like an eagle, it's acting like a pigeon,'' said state wildlife biologist Eric Orff. Some of the spectators criticized the officials' tactics. ``It's too obvious for him, the people with the bait down there,'' said Jonathan Joiner, 14, of Boston. ``I don't think he's that stupid. He's up there laughing.'' Copyright 2001 The Associated Press

One wonders... with the bears so cocky, the tables have turned, and they are treating any bull with the same contempt they were treated with as they kept saying the sky was falling. Well, it fell for many and here we are...where are we...? ...well, I'm still surfin' and figure it ain't worth gettin' all pissy about what someone said or didn't say 6 months ago or whatever. Good grief! but still...so where was I? oh yeah...where are we? We are getting very close to when all the bears will be blindsided by a huge move on the upside and will be in denial for the entire next 1000 point move on the NAZ ...missing the bottom out of fear. Just human nature. And where will Uncle Frank and those who hung on through out it all be? A hell of a lot richer than they are now and wiser to be sure. But I suspect that their LTB&H strategy will win in the end regardless of the rare sucess stories of people who have been able to time things just right 'cuz thoughout it all it still seems purt-near impossible to time it right the second time around. Have I ever told you guys about the 100 shares of GE my dad bought me in 1973 when I went off to college? Just like all those dumb Joe-6-Packs (J6P) the bears like to make fun of, I just sat around drinking beer and never did anything with them. Figured my cost basis the other day...just over a buck. Wow, how stupid I was not to be concerned. And just think about all the beer I drank instead of watching the DUMB ASS MARKET EVERY DAMN DAY!!!! Ah, that felt good. Got some Cisco yesterday for $15.86. Think I'll give it to my son when he goes into 5th grade this year. <H>
