Okay, okay, this is one that REALLLLLLY belongs in General Discussion, but it also, sorta, kinda, ALMOST fits in Hunting. And really-- which needs more pertanent posts: Gen. Discussion, or Hunting?
So here goes:
I heard this report on National Public Radio's All Things Considered yesterday afternoon, and it made me laugh so hard, I almost drove off the road. Follow this link, and click on
"Texas Census", about halfway down. It's a 4 minute RealAudio story about the dangers of pet javelinas to census takers in SW Texas. I ran the 28.8 Kbaud version just great on my 56k modem.
I was going to just send an email to Art Eatman to ask about the incident. We've all heard yahoos exagerate how a javelina can charge, but this is one of the first confirmed tales I've ever heard. Art, you know Kate Davis from the Hungry Javelina, right? How bout the pistol-totin' EMT? (Brewster Co. is one of the cooler places in these United States...)
Regards and enjoy,
Matt.
