Chief Rick

Which can also be vicious and very destructive and have the ability to get pi$$ed off and strike out if the mood hits them. Not advocating having a racoon as a pet but I'll let 'ol Murphy take care of people that want "exotic" pets. And truthfully, I don't care if a person gets something like that and keeps it. What upsets me is when they get something like that and then figure out that they can't control it (happens with dogs all the time, too) and just turn them loose.

I received a phone call yesterday evening and my caller ID identified the caller as a major credit card company. When I answered the person new my name and address and told me there were are series of charges just placed on my credit card in TX. Then I was asked to verify the first six digits on the credit and expiration date - the caller had that info. The the caller asked me to verify the last eight digits of the card. Uh, no. I hung up and immediately called the number on the back of my credit card to report it. Be careful - some of these callers are very professional sounding and convincing.

My daughter was filling up her truck (Freightliner) at a truck stop the other day and while we were talking she say "hold on a second" and then I hear her air horn. Seems the driver at the island next to her took off with the nozzle still in his passenger side tank.

It's very "Walking Dead-ish" to me. It starts off humans against vampires. Then the it really gets stupid with some of the vampires getting super powers (for lack of a better term) with the ability to regenerate body tissue and only die if the head is cut completely off. Season 4 ended with some of the characters entering "other realms". And the acting is not great, but better than some other popular shows.

I have slowly watched the Van Helsing series on Netflix over the last several months. Several of the episodes took some real effort to get through. Overall, it's ok, IMO. I just finished the final episode of season four. Season five is new this year and aired on SYFY. The first eight episodes of season five are not available on SYFY and the only place I can find them are on Amazon Prime video for $2.99 per episode. I liked it enough to want to finish, but not enough to spend that much per episode. Anyone else watch the series or know where/how to watch season five episodes 1-8?

Looks like Joe Perkins' work. Very nice.
