A Bigfoot/Sasquatch (a/k/a Skunk Ape) sighting in Lettuce Lake Park
By Jack Brummet, Unexplained Phenomena Ed.
The blog, BigfootEvidence.com, published video footage this week from a reader, "Matt M.", who sent in a video he shot while canoeing in a swamp near Tampa, Florida.
He saw something walking and diving in a gator infested water and started filming what he thought was a bear. Lettuce Lake Park is a 240-acre park with no real bear population. Matt was unsure of what he had filmed. BE wrote "Upon closer inspection, we've concluded that this is no bear. Check out the length of its arms and its gate. Yeah -- we know bears can walk on their hind legs too, but this does not resemble a bear at all."
"I was canoeing some of the swamps around Lettuce Lake Park and saw what I thought was a bear. I told a park ranger about it and she said that bears don’t generally get into the swamp and that there were never many sightings in general. I showed her the video and she said she didn’t know what it was. I saw the Fox13 story about the bigfoot a few weeks ago that mayor said Bob Buckhorn made a statement about and thought this might be related in some way. I never put much faith in the old skunk ape legends but when I looked closer I noticed that it had long, swinging arms and moved through very thick swamp with ease. Certainly can’t explain it myself. I didn’t get very close but I hope that this footage can be enlarged. -Matt"

Art Challenge: Day Two - Mirror Dance; Faces No. 489, and Throwback
By Jack Brummet
I was nominated by Cathie Joy Young for the 5 day art challenge to publish 3 works a day for 5 days, and name 5 other artists to do so as well.
My nomination for day two is Kathleen Hayden. . Here is my *day two* Mirror Dance; Throwback; and Faces No. 489.
Mirror Dance is a fast scribble drawing.
Faces No. 489 is drawn on the back of a large old sign (roughly three feet by two feet.
Throwback is drawn on
a big chunk of Masonite cut in an oval (an old sign is on the other side) - it's about 3 x 2 feet. This one is kind of an inside joke. The myth is is that most abducted people are not acceptable to The Greys. They return them to earth; they are throwbacks. These are the people who claim to experience lost time where they cannot account for their whereabouts...so while it looks like an abduction, they are just lowering a throwback back to earth.

Art challenge: Day One - Birds of Prey; Domestics; Accidental Death
By Jack Brummet
—click images to enlarge—
My nomination for day one is Pegeen White, and for day two, Kathleen Hayden. . Here is my day one:
Birds of prey that actually turned out to be kind of friendly looking.- Domestics is a sign from a now defunct Ben Franklin store in Kent, Wash., that Keelin picked up one day years ago when we were out there visiting parents.
- Accidental Death - There is a story behind this one. When Keelin was in law school, she had to do a mock trial. She had a bunch of exhibits et cetera all done in marker on a large paper pad. This was #3, showing the death as the result of the events outlined in #1 and #2. Anyhow, we had that pad of paper with us for years. One day I pulled out the pad and decided to illustrate it. I chose No. 3 for its dramatic content, and it was one of the first watercolor/Sharpie drawings I ever did.
Dave Grohl: pants on fire or lighting a fart?
By Jack Brummet
Pants on fire? Dave Grohl clowning during the In Utero recording sessions. Photographer & context unknown. This photo first appeared (maybe?) when Grohl posted it in an AMA ("ask me anything") he did on Reddit in 2013.
