The truth about vampires

I realize I’m about a week late blogging this item (should have been around Halloween), but I just can’t resist: Count Dracula not in the numbers, physicist says. A scientist is playing Scully to scientifically disprove the existence of monsters—vampires, zombies, ghosts, and so on. Articles like this make me amused and irritated at the… Continue reading The truth about vampires

Mouse fire!

Okay, this is kind of an awful story… No, scratch that. It’s a story that seems like it should be awful, but I just can’t take it seriously. It just makes me laugh. I can’t help it: Mouse takes down house. On Saturday, a Fort Sumner man’s home fell victim to a mouse fire. Homeowner… Continue reading Mouse fire!

In fact, I grabbed a couple of his pictures of… Continue reading The King has a posse

I know of two (that I’ve seen personally): the one I just mentioned, on highway 97 south of Grass Valley, I believe, and north of Shaniko, and another one on highway… Continue reading Shoe trees

"Pet Sematary" zombie dogs

Okay, this is damn freaky. Apparently US scientists have succeeded in reanimating dead dogs—yup, bringing them back to life by replacing their blood, cooling them down, and shocking them with electricity. They claim the zombie dogs are “perfectly normal, with no brain damage.” Riiiiiight. There is no way I would trust a dog—or any animal… Continue reading "Pet Sematary" zombie dogs
