This is the reason I would not take my dog to a dog park.

"Kubinec said he was a bit surprised at the recent outbreak of parvovirus, given the low number of cases he's seen recently.

But he noted the disease is "ubiquitous" around the city's dog parks and other areas where pets frequent.

"Pretty well any place where a dog has passed some stool, there's going to be parvovirus there," he said."

I love going to Parker Dan in the evening and watching all the bats fly out of the bat houses.

What I don't get is why people go to listen to "experts" talk about Bigfoot sightings. How can anyone actually be an expert on the subject?

If the tail was previously broken and didn't heal properly, he might be in pain. I would bet a vet would amputate.  It's actually not that big of a thing.  I had to have a cat's tail amputated one time because it had a bad break.

There are more pictures. And they are from various positions. Note the trees and branches in the photos.

Before I lived in DuBois, though my statement was more a general one, than pointing at any specific area.  I know of a large fire alongside the Dollar Store.  After it, from what I was told, Eddie Levine built his clothing store.  There was a large fire across from Brady/along side the State Farm agency.

 

Many of the buildings that burned that I remember (and what Fox was referring to) were more of brick facades.  You can still see some "ghosts" of firewalls, though there is no way to stop a fire that burns through a wooden roof and leaps to the next.  IIRC DuBois also had several firefighters lose their lives fighting these blazes.

Most of the fires were caused from human activity like smoking.

But that poses an interesting question and I don't know the answer. Maybe a fireman can answer. After the big fire, how were the buildings constructed? Do they have firestops?

I don't about the downtown buildings but I know some of the older houses in DuBois are built with firestops.

Those old buildings were firetraps. Built directly up against each other, all wood construction, bad electrical wiring, bad heating systems, oiled wood floors, tar paper roofs, just waiting for an ignition source, no fire sprinkler systems,....It was a matter of sooner or later..

After the big fire, they were no longer all wood construction.

The downtown area of DuBois had to contend with a number of fires through the years since WWII, though it would be nice to have many of those buildings back.

I don't remember fires in the stores above the light at Jared, other than the one just a few years back in that big apartment building and the one above the Dollar Store. I'm talking about the ones right below the Dollar Store.

I remember all those great stores and businesses where the big apartment building is now located.

The owner probably was thinking about the insurance liability and possible legal repercussions of having an "official" inspection of the site.  Allowing hunters could easily be covered, but the rest of it could be a nightmare for the landowner.

 

This was a fabulous educational tool.  Thank you for posting it.

I was thinking more along the lines of the owner being worried it would be labeled a historic site.

I remember the story I read here a while back about the Reynoldsville stone. It was believed to be a tombstone of a Carthaginian from 100 to 300 AD.

mine is a top loader and I still have a gunky stinky smell after all of the above;  it is not the tub;  it is the space between the tub and the outside wall, filled with brown junk looks like disintegrated cardboard when it flops around and throws it into the tub...ewwwwww

Sounds like there's a build up of "sludge" from liquid detergents. I'd try running baking soda and white vinegar through it with hot water and see if you can get it dissolved. This article talks about front loaders, but it should work on top loaders too. And if you are using a liquid detergent, throw it away and only use powders. That has made the world of difference for us. http://www.ecokaren.com/2009/06/front-loading-washer-maintenance/

Got rid of the front loader and the liquid Tide. Bought a high efficiency top loader about 2 years ago that drains completely and that can have the lid left completely open. I haven't had any more issues since. Our old front loader was a mold and mildew nightmare. The clothing even started coming out smelly funny, so I decided I wasn't putting any more money into fixing the junky thing.

I've seen those shows.  Believe the same shows covered at least one documented instance of a large, hairy person (?) enlisting or consulting with a ruler of some nation or group.  Then, there's Golaith.

There was also Esau who was described as a big man completely covered in red hair.

Very interesting writings of human remains of giants that have been found all over the world:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/830123/posts

The Bible talks about giants.  Obviously they existed but it could have meant someone 9 feet tall.  Some of the African tribes regularly have people of that height.

There are people from time to time that are up to 9 feet tall, but there are no groups that are regularly that tall.  There have been skeletons found of humans that were up to 12 feet tall.

Don't want to take this too far out in right field, but the TV series Ancient Aliens suggests that Bigfoot could be a cross between humans and aliens (yes, ETs).  Of course, the series also suggests that human intelligence was manufactured by the same ETs in a pre-human species in order to provide a trainable labor force for these ETs.  The series has not speculated about any Elvis sightings, however.

I like to watch that show. Have you seen the shows on the giant skeletons that have been found all over the world? Maybe those really were Bigfoot bones.

Well I still say its a form of ape or gorilla, the dna leans more toward that.

You can still say whatever you want but that's ignoring what Dr. Ketchum said. Why you would do that, I don't know. She says it was a cross between a human and a hominin, which is an ancestor of humans. She clearly says non-ape.

"Ketchum said the study had sequenced

He has a couple books out that I've hinted to Santa I want. (I thinki I'd better put that in writing for Santa or it's not going to happen...lol)

 

Thnaks..I hadn't read that link, but knew of the wars going on with the dif. factions.  I think the Texas group is in the "ape" camp, and the Oxford study I think is the Sykes one I mentioned earlier.

 

Read up on Ape Canyon..I don't think I would shoot one...lol

Sounds like Bigfoot is a relative of ours whether people like it or not!  

Very interesting article on how this got "outed" early and what they found:

DNA study suggests Bigfoot exists

The whole Sasquatch thing may be moving from the realm of the weird to the level of

I for one don't believe in evolution, I believe its a sub species of ape or gorilla that is a bit more advanced. The study says it does not fall in the humanoid gene which is 46 but 48 which is right above an ape. Is it that far beyond the realm of possibility that a large ape type like giganticus pithecus survived to roam the forests of the us.  

It says it is a hominin. That means it is from the human branch and a relative of ours.

 

S-Mom,

 

You're not a former Helvetia resident, are you?

 

To

No. I just know there are some very good websites where people post very cool local pictures and postcards.  

There are about 9 pictures at this website.

There's an old abandoned train tunnel there but I don't think there was a town.

doesnt mean I need to add more though 8)

Why not? They're very high in protein!
