peace pipe

05AUG25

it’s like hunting snipe

we're a friendly tribe
just trying to connect
bigfoot is throwing a vibe
it is a big reject

refuses to uncloak
it's like hunting snipe
he's refusing to smoke
our peace pipe

think we should
pack up the wigwam
he's sayin out of his woods
or it'll be like Vietnam

we're on our way 
we're no fools 
as we rush to obey
the big guys rules

the car unlock
and away tear
before bigfoot's rocks
get in the air

there is no time
for ukulele strumming
want to avoid writing a rhyme
about bigfoot rocks incoming

I put the Hocking Hills Bigfoot Festival in the title of this post. It is a huge bigfoot festival. Not sure yet if I I am going. And if I do go I am probably not going to stay for 4 days. Thom Powell is speaking on Saturday. He wrote an excellent book on bigfoot titled The Locals. He is a retired high school science teacher. He tells a very interesting story about his journey from being someone who made fun of people who search for bigfoot to actually becoming a researcher. He also gives a fascinating account of slowly realizing that he was the one being studied and toyed with.

Yesterday I got one drone video up on the blog. It is a flyover of my hometown Nickelsville, Virginia. I actually flew and filmed it on 07JUL25. So it took me about a month to get it up. I have several other videos in the pipeline. There are some from April and May that I need to get on the blog. And I have a list of projects that I am planning to shoot. Some I can shoot right away. One I have to wait for a creek to go down. It is too high on the banks and too muddy. When I was reconning the sight last week it was uncomfortable standing next to that much brown water rushing by me in a low lying area. I was happy to climb in the car and drive back up to higher ground and get on the highway. I also have to try to predict when the leaves on the trees will turn into their different colors. But it seems like that I am always going to have too much to do when it comes to the work flow on the videos. And I guess that is a good problem to have as long as they continue to make their way onto the blog.

You can find the new drone flyover video at the bottom of the drop down menu. If you are on a mobile device there will be be 3 slashes in the top right hand corner. If you tap that it should give you a listing with the drop down menu. I hope that you enjoy the video. I shot it on my 5th flight with the drone so I’m sure that there is lots of room for improvement : ). Perhaps my mistakes will make you smile!
