    Me in my Bigfoot costume in Colorado going up Pikes Peak last summer.
    I plan on taking my costume on every trip the family goes on and getting random pictures.

    Don't wear that costume during hunting season. Just sayin'. :o;)

    Seriously, that could be dangerous.

    That is one thing I definitely won't do. In my area there are lots of people who hunt.
    My wife told me that at least I won't have to take my costume to the beach whenever we go because bigfoots aren't spotted on the beach. Then about a week later she said there was a sighting in Florida. I looked at her and told her that it looks like the costume will make the trip when we eventually get to go.

    My newps from Saturday,
    My other hobby, North Carolina folk pottery:

    Those are nice and it looks like you can put coins in them from the top.

    Double-take. Are those real teeth in the big one?

    Luckily, they are not real teeth! :D I actually asked the potter who made it and he says he just shapes them by hand! They do look real! :o

    If the pottery teeth is made from porcelain then it is a distant cousin to what dentist uses. Interesting. Thanks!

    Possible, but I'm not really sure what kind of clay it is. If I'm not mistaken, he has a video on Youtube that shows him make the teeth, but I'm not sure which one it is.
    Look up "Steve Abee Pottery" on there, the channel is folkart. If you're interested

    Interesting vids. He gets the clay locally, I mean really locally, someone told him about a certain spot... so he digs up his clay. Have not seen how he makes the teeth but he has a tray of them and they look like golf tees.

    Edit: That’s one of the vids I watched.

    Lot's of BF sightings on OR and WA beaches, but easy to determine a counterfeit from the gait and length of arms. You should be ok.... :D

    I see we have quite a few cat lovers here. Count me as one of them.

    This is Snickers. He was nineteen years old when I took this picture. This was taken on the last day of his life on Earth. He was pretty sick at the time...

    Did he like Snickers? In kitty heaven with bunches of them.
