NO! I don't have facebook...my Ol' lady does...

So whatcha think about this?? Having quite the animal background, and judging the body size to it's surroundings...looks real to me! However, IMO this isn't a "Black panther" but more apt to be a melanistic mtn. lion meaning the opposite of albinoism. This pic is supposed to be from Louisiana and is being circulated through Face Book. I know that in Arkansas the Fish and Game has denied mtn. lions for years...until they caught (3) in Southern Missouri. Here is the link

Ya, A.D.F+G. Said there wernt any in Alaska either ( cougars) . Till a guy shot one on the back side of Wrangle Island that was gettin into his stuff. . Then the Goon heads sited the guy for shooting a non game species animal. . I think he got out of it tho as it was tearing into his trapping bait. It was in the winter time. And it would have killed his dog given the chance.
 
Sorry miss P... sometimes forget that words I find to be normal are actually offensive to most sane people...

Its hard to remember that that certain word is offensive when your surrounded be "men" that fit the description for 40-50 hours a week. I tend to mumble profanity to myself for the better part of the week... keeps the straights away... which also means that I'm just two missed paydays away from doing the same thing but while sitting on a park bench in Seattle playing my cereal box guitar, and kicking a five gallon bucket...
 
later guys gotta do some work.........oh it hot here lol..............yesterday in the 90's today 80's ......oh joy of joys will get eaten alive as the critters that bite will be out lol
 
Husk,
Is this why I gotta wait 20 min after my appointment time to see the doctor, busy talking about chainsaws.. :laugh::bang:

Not sure. I generally don't like doctors or frequent their offices. I will talk to anybody, anytime about chainsaws. Just lucky I don't live in logging country or I wouldn't get anything done. Pawn shops here also full of wildthings, helps keep the CAD in check, but not even close to being cured:msp_thumbsup:

Things aren't as busy, logging wise, here. But, we did have a doctor who wore rigging clothes to his office. I didn't go to him. Rumor had it that he was pretty rude and embarrassing to woman patients. He was an expert in crushing injuries and could stitch up chainsaw cuts so there was minimal scarring. He sometimes was helicoptered in to the logging sites. One story has his patient protesting that he wanted a doctor, not another logger working on him (think the rigging clothes uniform).

A friend of mine was in to get some stitches and it took longer than the local anesthetic lasted. The doc was on the phone giving instructions on how to deliver a baby, and working on my friend in his spare time. The guy who was a young (he's still here and is now old) nurse practitioner mentioned that the anesthetic was wearing off and the doctor told my friend to be tough and he'd finish it off without more. He did and my friend said it really hurt big time.

Both of the local doctors were good at "patching you up so you could keep on working". Both are gone.
