CHILDBLOOM. JESUS JUBILEE! EGG-NORMOUS EASTER! EXUBERANT GRACE! LET'S DANCE, SING, CELEBRATE! NEW EASTER BONNET--NEW LIFE! FRESH LIFE! I'M GONNA SOAK UP THE SON--TELL EVERYONE TO LIGHTEN UP! LOL! MADRID. GRIZZ. EASTER. COMING OUT OF HYBERNATION, AS HUMANS! CULTURE CHANGE! BREAKFAST AT BURGER KING, RESERVE, MISSOULA, MONTANA . . . WEATHER NEWS, SHOWING ME IN WHITEFISH? SO, I CLICKED ON TO SHOWING MY EXACT LOCATIONS--SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS! LOL! SHELLEY. KAY OR RACHEL IN WHITEFISH. LOL! NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE, FEBRUARY 1986, THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE--MEN DRIVEN BY NATURE? SURVIVOR OF THE FITTEST? BUT WHO'S THE FITTEST? THE MOST TONE? THOSE WHO ARE PHYSICALLY FIT? MENTALLY STRONG? POWERFUL? OR A SURVIVOR? BEING ON IN A HERD? LONE STRAGGLER, FIGHTING OFF ALL PREDATORS? I'M STILL HERE! LOL. MADRID. IN THE MAGAZINE, IT SHOWED A PICTURE OF ABOUT, 10 MEN, ALL DOING HANDSTANDS, WEARING COLORFUL, UNDERWEAR OR WRAPS, BUT OTHERWISE BARE . . . HEELS OVER HEAD IS AN UNNATURAL POSITION! SO? WHAT THE FUCK? THINK MAN! FIREHOLE VALLEY--"GRIZZ"--BLACKFOOT INIDANS CALLED "REAL BEAR" . . . OMINOUS, DEXTEROUS, HIGHLY ADAPTABLE, HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, HUGE, AGGRESSIVE, SMASHINGLY STRONG, CAPABLE OF SPINTING AT A DEERLIKE SPEED, OF 35 MILES PER HOUR, LIVING UP TO 30 YEARS. THEY CAN STILL SCAR YOU WILD. KODIAKS, TECHNICAL NAME IS "HORRIBILIS." MALES PLAY NO PART IN CUB UPBRINGING, THEY SOME TIMES KILL OFFSPRING IF GIVEN A CHANCE. KODIAKS ARE AMPED UP, GRIZZ, THEY ARE THE ONES WITH THE HUMP ON THEIR BACKS, DON'T CROSS A MAMA BEAR WITH CUBS! MALE BEAR HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO LOSE. BEARS IT SEEMS ARE WHAT THEY ARE AND WHAT WE MAKE THEM OUT TO BE. REMINGTON AUTOLOADING RIFLE, THE RAPID FIRE RIFLE--LOADS ITSELF BIG ENOUGH FOR THE BIGGEST GAME. LEGEND BEARS. UTAH HAS, OLD EPHRIAM, SKULL USED TO BE IN THE SMITHSONIAN MUSEUM IN WASHINGTON, D.C., A BEAR THAT STOOD, 11 FEET TALL, A SKULLS THAT WAS, A FOURTH LARGER THAN ANY ON RECORD, KILLED 150 SHEEP IN ONE NIGHT--THE MAN WHO KILLED HIM OR HER, ALWAYS REGRETTED KILLING A LEGEND. COLORADO WAS THE STOMPING GROUND FOR OLD MOSE, A DAMN-YOUR-FENCES, TURN-OF-THE-CENTURY, OUTLAW GRIZZ, WHO END UP WITH A HIGHER PRICE ON ITS HEAD, THAN, SOME HUMAN BAD GUYS. HE HAD STOMPED ABOUT 800 HEAD OF STOCK AND FIVE OF THE MEN WHO TRIED TO CASH HIM IN, OR SO, THE LEGEND GOES. RANGERS MAY FIRE A COUPLE OF CRACKER SHELLS--EARSPLITTING GUN CHARGES THAT EXPLODE IN THE AIR--FOR ADDED EFFECT. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR CAMP CLEAN! CLOTHESE TOO! ONE BEAR, RAIDED A CAMP, AND THE ONLY ONE TO GET HURT, WAS SOME DUDE WHO HAD GREASE ON HIS ASS, AND HE GOT BIT ON THE BUTT! AS FOR CLEAN CAMPS, THERE WERE A GROUP OF CAMPERS, OUTSIDE, DURANGO, COLORADO WHEN, I WAS THERE, WHO HAD A BLACK BEAR STROLL INTO THEIR CAMP, AND NEARLY RIP ONE GUYS FACE OFF! RANGERS SAID THE CAMP WAS IN DISARRAY, CAMPERS, SAID, NO, THE BEAR DID THAT! MY CAMPING BUDDY FROM WHITEFISH, RICK, WHO HAD CAMP SET UP BEFORE, I GOT UP TO HIS SITE, ONLY ABOUT THREE MILES OUTSIDE OF WHITEFISH, MONTANA, HAD HIS CAMP TORN TO SHREDS, HIS FIRST NIGHT CAMPING. THE SECOND, NIGHT I WAS THERE, HE GOT UP IN THE MORNING TO SEE A BLACK BEAR, ABOUT 200 YARDS AWAY, SO HE FIRED A PISTOL AND SCARED IT AWAY. THE NEXT NIGHT, I GOT UP, TO GO TO THE BATHROOM, JUST NOT VERY FAR FROM OUR TENT, BEING CREEPED OUT BY THE WHOLE POSSIBILITY, THAT THERE COULD BE A BEAR, TAKE A BITE OUT OF THIS JUICY, BAD ASS . . . SO I HURRIED, EARLIER IN THE MORNING, BEFORE, WAKING UP, I HAD A DREAM, AS REALISTIC, AS STANDING THEIR LOOKING AT THE BUSHES, I HAD RELIEVED MYSELF BY, THE NIGHT BEFORE, NO FLASHLIGHT, AND IN THE DREAM THERE WAS A BROWN AND BLACK, PAIR OF GRIZZLIES! PICTURE PERFECT OF THE BUSHES, AND THE EXACT LOCATION, I WAS AT, IN THE DARK THE NIGHT BEFORE! SCREAM, WE HAD COOKED UP A GREAT DINNER, TOO TIRED TO DO THE DISHES, WE, PUT ALL OF THEM, UNDER THE COVER OF THE BBQ GRILL WE HAD USED, OR IN THE COOLER, COVERED, BUT, DISHES, CAMPS, AND FOOD, SMELLS, LIINGER IN THE AIR, AND I THINK, WE MIGHT HAVE HAD A FEW VISITORS IN THE NIGHT, WHOM, I MAY HAVE STUNNED, TO SILENCE . . . NEEDLESS TO SAY, I LEFT THE CAMP! LOL! I SAW TWO GRIZZLIES, JUST WALKING ALONG THE SIDE OFTHE ROAD, ON THE WAY UP TO SWIFTCURRENT LODGE, WHERE I WAS GOING TO WORK FOR THE SUMMER AND GET OFF THE GRID, HAVING, JUST LEFT UTAH, IN FEAR OF HUMAN GRIZZLIES, AS BLOODTHIRSTY, FILLED WITH HUNGER AND RAGE, RAVENOUS, FANGS AND CLAWS, BOTH ARE NOT FUZZY LITTLE BUDDIES, YOU WANT TO MEET ANYWHERE . . . BUT, I HAVE NEVER BEEN THE SAME, SEEING THEM, WITHIN ABOUT, 20 FEET FROM THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK I WAS IN . . . I TOLD MY LOVER, HIKING BUDDY, WHO TALKED ME INTO WORKING UP IN GLACIER NATIONAL PARK, THAT, FUCK THE BEAR SPRAY . . . IF YOU THINK, FOR ONE SECOND, I AM GOING TO LET SOME BIG ASS GRIZZ GET THAT CLOSE TO ME, YOUR CRAZY, I WANT A GUN AND SPRAY FOR BACK UP, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND! LOL! EVERY ROCK IN THE RIVER, WAS THE HEAD OF A GRIZZ, OR THE SNAP OF A TWIG, ONE STANDING BEHIND ME, FOR THE WHOLE REST OF THE SUMMER! SCREAM. SOME OF YOU WILL REMEMBER, MY SERIES OF BLOGS ABOUT THE DANGEROUS BEAUTY OF NATURE, "CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE WORST KIND" REPORTING, ON THE ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT MAGAZINE, OR REPORTING ON MY FRIEND'S NEWS UPDATES FROM YELLOWSTONE PARK, ABOUT, BUFFALO GORINGS, NICE LITTLE BACKDROP FOR A "SELFIE" . . . NOT, REAL, AND CAN BE MEAN ASS! OR THE 63 YEAR OLD, LIFETIME EMPLOYEE OF YELLOWSTONE PARK, WHO WAS FOUND ON THE TRAIL, HALF EATEN! SERIOUSLY, THE TECHNICAL, SCIENTIFIC NAME, HORRIBILIS, IS ABOUT RIGHT! I HAVE YET TO RETURN TO RATTLESNAKE TRAILS UP ABOVE MISSOULA, AFTER BEING THE FIRST ONE ON A TRAIL ONE MORNING, HEARING A TREE BRANCH SNAP, BEHIND ME, WHILE I WAS WATCHING CATTLE AT A RANCH NEAR A SMALL CLEARING IN THE MOUNTIANS . . . HELLO? SHIT! I TURNED AND WITH DEERLIKE SPEED, CLEARED ON DOWN THE MOUNTAIN, WARNING EVERYONE IN MY PATH, THAT THERE WAS EITHER A BEAR, MOUNTAIN LION, OR MAN, SOMEWHERE UP THERE YONDER! LOL! TALKING ABOUT SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST, I AM FUCKING KILLER ON, PSYCHOLOGICAL, INTELLECTUAL, POLITICAL, SOCIAL, AND OTHER AREAS OF FITNESS IF NOT PHYSICAL, BUT, I ADMIT, I AM NO MATCH FOR A BLACK BEAR, GRIZZ, MOUNTAIN LION, OR A MAN, WHO IS SENT TO KILL ME, HUNTING AND TRACKING ME LIKE HIS PREY! TALKING BRETT, 3RD HUSBAND, DYER'S WOE WEEDS, SERIAL KILLER, HITMAN, AND NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, HAD A PICTURE OF SOMEONE WHO LOOKED LIKE AN AERIAL SHOT, OF A MAN FROM ABOVE, STANDING UNDER SOME TREES AND BIG ASS JUNGLE LEAVES, THAT I SAW, LIKE THE DAY AFTER THAN INCIDENT HAPPENED. OFTEN, PEOPLE, CLEAN OUT THEIR BASEMENTS, AND RID THEMSELVES OF ALL THEIR OLD MAGAZINES, AND NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC IS ONE, BRETT USED TO HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION TO, SO THIS HAD VERY SYMBOLIC MEANING, TO THE INCIDENT AND THE PICTURE IN THE MAG! MY BEST GUESS IS A HIT! BUT, THEN, AGAIN, THERE WAS THAT LADY, WHO GOT MURDERED BY A MOUNTAIN LION, OVER AT THE HOSPITAL . . . THE ARTICLE I READ, SUBSTANTIATED WHAT, ARTICLES, SHORTLY AFTER, SHE WAS KILLED, IN THE CITY, COMPARATIVELY SPEAKING, MONTANA STYLE, WITH ME SEEING THE TRACKS IN THE FRESH MORNING SNOW, HEADING STRAIGHT TO WHERE THE OFFICERS WERE TAPING OFF THE CRIME SCENE, AND WERE STILL, PUZZLED OVER THE INCIDENT, BLOODY MESS, 4 OR 6 HOURS LATER! BUT THE ARTICLES ON BOTH, LIONS AND BEAR, HA, HA, IS THAT, OFTEN THEY ARE WHERE, DEER ARE, SO IF YOU ARE SEEING DEER IN YOUR YARDS, ALL OVER UP RATTLESNAKE CANYON AREA, OR LINCOLN PARK, AREA, YOU ARE LIKELY TO HAVE EITHER, CREATURE, STALKING YOUR DOGS AND CATS, GETTING IN GARBAGES, AND EATING YOUR BERRIES AND GARDENS, WITH YOU BLAMING IT ON THE DEER OR RABBITS! CAREFUL, LIKE THE BEAR, ETHEL, TRACKED GOING FROM EATING CHERRY BLOSSOMS IN THE SPRING TO BEING THE BOB MARSHALL WILDERNESS, IN THE FALL, COVERING SOME 1,500 MILES OR THE FEMALE MOUNTAIN LION, WHO WAS UNTYPICAL HERSELF, GOING FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA TO HELENA, MONTANA . . . CUTTING THROUGH, BACKYARDS, RANCHES, OVER FENCES, AND DOWN DRIVEWAYS . . . A WORD OF WISDOM TO THE WISE, BE CAREFUL . . . THERE ARE DEATHS EVERY FUCKING YEARS, AND SOME VERY EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS IN BACK ROADS, PARKS, AND MOUNTAINS! I FOUND THE 1986 ARTICLE, IN NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC INTESTING, IN AND OF THE FACT THAT, RIGHT AROUND THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE, THAT RUNS THROUGH, MONTANA, HAPPENED TO BE A GRIZZLY BEAR STRONGHOLD, STARTING WITH, GLACIER NATIONAL PARK, GREAT BEAR, THE BOB MARSHALL, A WILDERNESS AREA, NOT A MAN--WHEN I FIRST CAME TO MONTANA, SOME DUDE WAS ADVERTISING FOR A HIKING COMPANION TO GO HIKE THE BOB? THAT SOUNDS FUN! IS HE GOOD LOOKING? LOL! BUT, RETURING TO THE LIST OF GRIZZ HITS, SCAPEGOAT, AND I HAVE BEEN THEIR, WARNING SIGNS, THAT IT IS GRIZZ COUNTRY, ALL OVER THE PLACE, LOOK FOR SIGNS WITH BEARS ON THEM, LIKELY, WARNINGS OF WHERE THE BEARS ARE TYPICALLY FOUND, BEAUTY, CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS . . . A FRIEND OF MINE, CAMPED UP IN SCAPEGOAT AND A SMALL BLACK BEAR, MISSING AN EYE AND HALF OF HIS FACE, WONDERED INTO CAMP, SO DANGEROUS FOR BEARS TOO! I THINK THAT . . . NO, MY HEN SCRATCHING LEAVES SOMETHING TO BE DESIRED, ALSO THE OFF THE CHARTS, GORGEOUS, MISSION MOUNTAINS, ARE A HOT SPOT TO SPOT SOME OF THESE AMAZING, AWESOME CREATURES! SOMETHING MY GRANDSONS' LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT, IS THE STORIES OF OLD EPHRIAM, THAT WAS ABOUT TWICE THE SIZE OF A NORMAL MAN . . . IN THE MIDDLE OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT OPENING, GIFTS TO THE CEILING, MY OLDEST GRANDSON, KAEL, CAME OVER TO ME, AND SAID, GRANDMA, WILL YOU TELL US SOME STORIES OF OLD EPHRIAM, AND IT TOLD ME, THAT MATERIAL GOODS AND PRESENTS, ARE UPSTAGED BY THE MAGIC OF ANIMALS THAT HAVE TAKEN ON MYTHICAL PROPORTIONS, AND LIKE THE ARTICLE I READ AT 4:30 AM, SAID, BEARS ARE WHAT THEY ARE AND WHAT WE MAKE THEM! SIMPLE THE COOLEST ANIMALS! I THINK OUT OF THE BLUE, ONE NIGHT ON BABYSITTING DUTY, I JUST HAPPENED TO REMEMBER A CHURCH DINNER, UP LOGAN CANYON, IN UTAH, AND HEARING A LIFETIME, LOGAN BOY, THEN, IN HIS 80'S TELLING US, STORIES, HE HEARD, WHEN HE WAS GROWING UP, AND TO MAKE THEM REAL, THERE WAS A WOODEN CARVING, OF THE LEGEND BEAR, STANDING OUTSDIE THE CABIN WE WERE SITTING AROUND THE FIRE LISTENING TO LOCAL FOLKLORE AND STORIES OF THE BEAR, THAT TERRIFIED, CATTLE, DEER, SHEEP, RANCHERS AND FARMERS ALIKE! BUT LIKE THE OUTLAW JESSE JAMES, WHEN, HE WAS SHOT IN THE BACK BY A COWARD, FOR THE RANSOM MONEY, THE WORLD MOURNED HIS DEATH, WITH OVER 850,000 VISITORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD, MORE THAN HAD ATTENDED, FUNERAL SERVCES FOR PRESIDENTS IN THOSE DAYS . . . WE ALL NEED TO IMAGINE THE WILD, THE FREE, THE BIGGER THAN LIFE, THE GUTZY, THE COOL, AND FIND SOME SATISFACTION IN THE LIVES THAT THEY HAVE LIVED, GIVING US PASSION FOR OUR OWN, LIVES, TO LIVE BIG, LIVE LARGE, DO SOMETHING AMAZING, EXCEEDING THE NORMAL, GOING BEYOND THE LIMITS, WITH UNLIMITED POTENTIAL! SO, WONDERFUL, THIS FUCKING BRILLIANT, LIFE, WORLD, CAN BE, HAS BEEN AND IS NOW! UNLEASH, YOUR WILD, YOUR FREE, OUR OUTLAW, YOUR PASSION! I SAW THE WORDS, "EXUBERANT GRACE" . . . PERFECT FOR EASTER! EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY. WE ARE WHERE WE ARE, NOT REGRETS, NO LOOKING BACK, LOT'S WIFE, IN THE OLD TESTAMENT WAS TOLD NOT TO LOOK BACK AT THE CITY SHE WAS LEAVING, BUT SHE DID AND SHE TURNED TO A PILLAR OF SALT! IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, JESUS CHRIST TAUGHT, THAT TO LOOK BACK IS LIKE, A "DOG RETURNING TO HIS VOMIT!" PRETTY GRAPHIC AND SICKENING! ALWAYS MAKES ME WANT TO LOOK FORWARD, REGARDLESS . . . WHEN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH HELL, JUST KEEP ON GOING! WHEN I FILED MY FIRST, CIVIL RIGHTS LAWSUIT, FOR $357 MILLION, FOLLOWED BY A $56.7 MILLLION ONE, I HAD A DREAM OF ME, WEARING THE BLACK PANTSUIT, WITH A WHITE BLOUSE, BLONDE HAIR, FLYING IN THE BREEZE, HOLDING, MY LEGAL FILES UNDER MY ARMS, WITH A WALL OF FIRE, BURNING AND GATHERING SPEED, BEHIND ME . . . SO, I JUST LOOKED FORWARD AND KEPT GOING! EASTER IS SUNDAY! THE BLOSSOMS ARE COMING ON THE TREES, PINK, WHITE, YELLOW AND PURPLE, SO BEAUTIFUL, THE FRESH NEW GRASS, PEEKING THROUGH, THE DIRT AND THE LAST PILES OF SNOW, THE RIVERS ARE, STARTING TO FILL, AND WILL SOON BE RAGING, TEEMING WITH LIFE, FISH, LEADING TO SUMMER FUN, FROLIC, AND FESTIVITIES, SO THIS IS A CAUSE TO DANCE FOR, TO REJOICE IN, TO LIVE IN THE MOMENT FOR, AND TO BASK IN THE LIFEGIVING, POWER OF THE REDEMPTION, OF THE RESURRECTION, OF THE ATONEMENT, ALLOWING US TO GO FOR LIFE, LOVE, HAPPINESS, LIVING AMAZINGLY, WITH A SAVIOR! TAKE ONE SUNDAY, GOT TO YOUR LOCAL AND NEIGHBORHOOD CHURCH, IN MISSOULA, FOR THE HEATHENS AND HERITICS WHO DON'T HAVE A REGULAR CHURCH, LIKE ME, EASTER SUNDAY SERVICES, AND I AM GOING FROM MEMBORY, SO A CORRECTION FROM YESTERDAY, IS APRIL THE 16TH, NOT THE 17TH, WITH SERVICES, I BELIEVE, STARTING AT 10:00 AM, KIND OF A COMMUNITY, COLLEGEWIDE, EASTER SERVICE, FOR EVERYONE TO ATTEND . . . THERE ARE BLACK AND WHITE SIGNS ADVERSITING THE EVENTS, CHURCHES ALL OVER THE VALLEY, IN YOUR TOWNS AS WELL, ARE OPEN AND WAITING FOR A NEW YOU TO COME JOIN, AND REJOICE IN THIS LIFE . . . THERE WAS SOME PASTOR, OR CATHOLIC PRIEST, WHO SAID, THERE WILL BE MANY, PREACHERS, SPEAKING OF THE INCIDENT ON UNITED AIRLINES, BEING KIND, TOLERANT, PATIENT, UNDERSTANDING, MELLOW, EASY TO REDRESS, OR ASK FOR FAVORS OR HELP! HE ALSO, TALKED ABOUT THE WONDERFUL TIME OF YEAR, IT IS, WITH SPRING, SO SPRING ON IT, HOP ON IT! HE HAS RISEN! EXUBERANT GRACE . . . A FREE GIFT! DON'T LOOK A GIFT HORSE IN THE MOUTH! NOTHING CAN SEPARATE YOU FROM, THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST! BELIEVE ME I HAVE TESTED THE LIMITS! WITH HIM, I AM HEAVEN'S BEST! LOL!
