When I write my novel it will be entitled: The Truth and Other Lies!!! The truth is that when I tell the truth, people just don't believe it! Of course, the truth is like a diamond... many facets each of which comprises another perspective of the diamond. But I swear the story about the bear was completely true... naked with a sawed off pistol grip 12 gauge shotgun with mosquitos finding blood in the most opportune parcels of flesh (YIKES!!!... who needs a vasectomy after that kind of experience???!!!). I was preparing to drop that critter with a large slug of lead. The animal (arctos horribolis) was so close I could smell him. Then he turned his cute head and raised his ears and tilted his face at me. I just couldn't drop Captain Kangaroo's Dancing Bear... I may be a bit ruthless in some situations but I'm not heartless!!! In any case, my lapse in judgement (remember... this was a huge grizz... not the Captain's buddy) did not cost me my life or any other parcels of flesh deep to the wounds already created by the Alaska State Bird (read, mosquito)... I'm alive to tell the Truth and other Lies!!! Or as my fishing buddy in Alaska says, "I'll tell you the truth 20 different ways, but I'll never lie to you!!!" I wonder when the Abacan thread will have something substantive to deal with??? In the mean time, my admiration remains with the sultan of swat!!! Nice work Sam. All it takes to jump off the top of a mountain is a good instructor and equivalent doses of courage and foolishness. Facing down the bear seemed like the right thing to do given the circumstance... but to be the sultan of swat requires years of practice, the right mental edge, and a level of bravado that few of us share. When the ball comes screaming down the strike zone, the moment of truth rests solely in your hands... And it sounds like you connected... Gotta love baseball... It's an amazing sport. Paul L. Craig
