Bigfoot Blog

Andrew and I have been working at the Bailey Country Store this week, and our plan is to get the store open by the end of this month if at all possible - permits permitting.  The shelves are just about finished and we should have the hot water running by the end of the day today.  Next week we'll have more help from the Journey team to put down a laminate floor in the store, and to build the deck and ramp in front.

Working on a 130 year-old store has been... well, interesting to say the least.  Yesterday John came by to help us get the hot water system functioning again.  Of course, since we last worked on the plumbing and fixed all the leaks there've been multiple freezing nights  - resulting in several new splits in the water pipes.  This is strange, since the water has been turned off the whole time.  Anyway, in the process of repairing the new breaks we noticed that all the copper pipes in the back (very cold) hallway aren't used for anything anymore, so we were able to just cap the whole section off and eliminate the source of most of the leaks.  I was climbing around in some of the dark, dank sections of the building yesterday following pipes and searching for leaks, and the thought came to mind, "I wonder what's back in here?  Nobody's been up here for decades... it would be a good place to hide a dead body."  When I shared my thoughts with John he wasn't amused.

On a totally unrelated note:  I've been tracking the story that first came out late last year of a dead bigfoot and a British documentary film company called Minnow Films.  Well, there has been a new development.  Apparently, the film (which has been renamed from "Of Men and Monsters" to "Shooting Bigfoot" will be premiered at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival at the end of this month.  So the claims of one Rick Dyer to having shot and killed an adult male Sasquatch outside San Antonio last September will be confirmed, or we'll chalk it up as one more (albeit creative) hoax.  I for one am hoping for conclusive proof that Bigfoot exists, cause there's a long line of people who'll owe me steak dinners!
