DOUG SHOOP: Introducing 'Fuzzy'

About three weeks ago when I lost my great feline friend Nigel, I promised some video of the new second-in-command male felid of the house. Due to a technical and financial glitch, I’m absent a necessary cable to enableme to upload my video. So that being said, I’ve provided a couple still photos of Fuzzy instead.

By the way he’s named Fuzzy not because he is, but because he has a bad habit of eating up all the dust bunnys anywhere to be found around the house. He also recently began ‘talking’ rather more than normal. My guess is that he’s finally realized his friend of nearly 11 years will not be coming home again.

Isn’t he a handsome boy?

NAOMI WEST: Puddle Monster 2 - The Mystery Continues

This morning while watching out the window, I thought I could make out a figure sitting by the puddle. There seemed to be a face with what appeared to be green stripes or some such design on it. I quickly opened the door to have a better look, and just as I did, the thing leaped back into the puddle. It happened so quickly, I was now questioning whether or not I'd seen anything to begin with. Yet, the water was obviously disturbed. I cautiously approached the puddle and peered as far into the water as I could.

At first I saw nothing. I concluded that the creature must be able to hide within the valve structure. Sure enough, I eventually made out SOMETHING between the segments of the anti-siphon valve. I could swear I saw zig-zaggy designs on what looked like a spiny back! But the water gets murky that far down and I couldn't make out any designs beyond that.

I am thinking about a installing a live web cam so the puddle can be viewed at all times from anywhere in the world in hopes of capturing some footage of this elusive creature.

I'm starting to wonder just how extensive this irrigation system really is. There could be multiple segments going for several feet -- perhaps even extending into neighboring irrigation systems.

NEW NESSIE SIGHTING?

A HOLIDAYMAKER who has been looking for the Loch Ness Monster for 45 years believes he may have at last captured the elusive creature on camera.

William Jobes was walking along the Abbey footpath in Fort Augustus with his wife Joan when he spotted what appeared to be a head bobbing above the water 200 to 300 yards from the shore.

"I got a wonderful shock," he said. "I have actually been coming up to Inverness for the past 45 years and I have never seen anything like this before."
