Adam and I left around 5:45 and headed up to Port Renfrew. This is my first time ever being to Renfrew, what an awesome spot, definitely coming back camping.
There was a pretty thick layer of frost covering everything it was a bit nippy but a beautiful day, not a breath of wind. Unfortunately there were [...]
When we were at the ranch a couple weeks ago, I'd get up early in the morning to see what animals were stirring. Just back of the house, and over the hill, this handsome skunk was browsing for food, eating much the same as a bear. Digging for roots, ants, and other bugs, he worked hard for his breakfast.Skunks are really peaceful little animals, and rarely bother you unless they've been torment
I don’t know why but it seems like the wild life is a tad suicidal. This morning on the way to work at least 2 squirrels, 3 chipmunks and a bird tried to stealth dive or run across the road in front of my moving car at the last possible second. And the skunk carcasses! [...]
Aftermarket parts manufacturer Skunk2 has been churning out go-fast bits for Hondas since the mid 1990s. Initially named Skunkworks, the company's extensive racing efforts and an R&D facility only found in the dreams of most engineers have rocketed it to the forefront of today's sport compact market. Skunk2 is ready to move into the future and is seeking to offload its project EP3 Honda Civic
A study of 300 people found that those who suffered an episode of psychosis were 18 times more likely to have used skunk rather than other users of cannabis. Dr Maria Di Forte of the Institute of Psychiatry, London, conducted the study. She comments: "We should take a cannabis history in a more detailed way like we do when we take a history of cigarette smoking to establish risk of lung cancer. Bu
The Pink Skunk Clownfish, also known as the Pink Skunk Anemonefish or False Skunk-striped Anemonefish, has a peach-orange base color with one white stripe behind the head that runs from the nose and down the entire length of the back. Another contrasting white stripe is located just behind the eyes.
It is semi-aggressive towards conspecifics and [...]

I'm writing this for our European friends as I don't think that they have the mispleasure of ever having to deal with the torrid and rather smelly skunk. This is especially for you, Portraits de chevaux , our French friend, who asked me to explain a skunk as Kola had recently been skunked! "skunk1.a.

A local officer in Carrollton Twp., Michigan is being hailed kind of like a hero, as he saved the life of a skunk using his quick wits and good shot. The skunk had a jar stuck around its head, doomed to face a certain death, when James Kellett thought of a great way to not be caught in the spray of the animal. He grabbed a BB gun, used in hunter savety courses, and took a shot at it.The glass shattered, but luckily the animal was unhurt. It scampered into the woods wearing a beautiful glass shard necklace. "I didn't want to use deadly force, and it is a residential area," Kellett told The Saginaw News. "The way he was when he took off, he was able to eat, breathe and spray and do anything else skunks like to do." [Yahoo]For reward of their, um, bravery in the line of work, the makers of T. Marzetti's salad dressing are sending the officer coupons good for free dressing.Yippee.Yahoo: Link!
Today I read that the Chupacabra which first appeared in Puerto Rico has made an appearance in south Florida. How exactly does an as yet unidentified blood sucking creature make its way from Puerto Rico to Florida? Can chupacabras fly long distances? Perhaps it stowed away on a cruise ship and jumped ashore in Miami or Tamps. If I were a skunk ape I would be pissed. You work hard earning street cred as a skunk smellin’ missing link ape creature only to have this goatsucker show up and steal your headlines. It just goes to confirm my theory that sooner or later everything ends up in Florida. I expect the Loch Ness Monster will be showing up any day now.
I found this interesting article about the Florida Skunk Ape which is Florida’s version of Bigfoot.
In response to thousands of sightings, the State Legislature in April 1977, introduced a bill (H.B.1664) to protect the elusive man-ape which in part, stated, “Any person taking, possessing, harming or molesting any anthropoid or humanoid animal which is native to Florida, popularly known as the Skunk Ape, or doing any act reasonably capable of harming or molesting such animals…” State Representative Paul Nuckolls wanted to make it a misdemeanor to capture or harass a skunk ape. “I’d hate to see someone catch one and put it in a circus or in a zoo,” remarked Representative Nuckolls. The bill never passed into law but that hasn’t stopped discussions about trying it again.
The other night I heard some animal howling. It was coming from a grove of trees behind my house. I have heard it many times before and I have usually shrugged it off saying it was wild dogs or a
Coffeekid: Andy got poison ivy so he's not working out or swimming tomorrow.
Me: You know the cure for poison ivy right?
Coffeekid: Oh! Wait! Yeah... pee on it right!?
Me: Um... no.... that's -
Coffeekid interrupting: Oh, that's not poison ivy. That was for skunks!
Me: No! You don't pee on someone who's been sprayed by a skunk. That's for a jellyfish sting!
Coffeekid: Oh yeah.
To paraphrase William Shakespeare, something is rotten in the State of Colorado. With mixed messages coming from the Kroenke camp, it seems that Stan has been playing his cards closer to his chest than originally thought (but probably no more than anyone expected) and has purchased ITV’s shareholding in Arsenal through an investment vehicle, KSE UK Inc. Having originally denied the intention to do so through the somewhat aptly named Jurgen Mainka, Big Stan then denied the denial at which point everyone suspected he was indeed interested in obtaining some sort of foothold in the Club. To what end is not known but many suspect it will not be long before there is an official takeover bid. The Club have not yet filed the requisite notices that were issued to try and identify the recent purchaser(s) of small shareholdings but it would be no surprise to find the dark hand of Stan behind them.
However, to assume that a takeover is imminent is to jump the gun. There is no evidence of thi
A man and a woman are driving in the car when they see a wounded skunk on the side of the road. They stop, the woman gets out, picks it up and brings it back into the car.She says: "It looks cold, what should I do?"He says: "Put it between your legs."She says: "What about the smell?"He says: "Hold its nose."
Skunk walks past me to exit the garage. I talked to him for a minute that eased his concern for my so large being, being where he needed to tread for freedom.
