My wife and I went to the Bronx zoo a few years back and they had an educational enclosure that the zoo visitors all gathered in to listen to one of the zoo keepers as they talked about the tiger just on the other side of the mesh fencing that the tiger could easily just slash through if he wanted. I was never so close to a tiger in my life. Even though the tiger was busy with the bloody popsicle they gave him. But trust me when I tell you I saw firsthand how big a tiger is. His mouth is the size of a 5 gallon bucket opening...lined with sharp dagger like teeth. His head is huge...if a human head only weighs eight pounds then a tigers head weighs 30...His paws....they were at least the size of the plate a pot roast comes out on ( each one ) complete with retractable claws each claw/nail 3 x thicker than your middle finger and 1/3 longer 4 1/2 to 5 inches. That's just a tiger. Lion's are bigger than them. So...you will not catch me on any hiking excursions in Africa or India any time soon. Aside from being afraid of being eaten by a tiger I'd need to worry about being stomped on by an angry elephant in Musthe. No thank you.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
