On the one hand I can understand that bones, teeth, etc aren't exactly easy to discover, but on the other hand I would have thought we'd have more than a few dubious hair samples by now. It's almost as if there's more physical evidence for UFOs than ABSMs. <br /><br />The eyewitness accounts are consistent enough to describe a living animal. I hope it's true.Capt Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10262797376576426403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-54962285944689260852014-03-12T12:35:11.805-07:002014-03-12T12:35:11.805-07:00because the Russian Committee found a fairly ordin...because the Russian Committee found a fairly ordinary height distribution in the reports they got, this raised the odds favoring something like homo erectus or neanderthal in my mind --- vs the more "sexy" gigantopithecus. ... but we REALLY need some modern physical evidence, even if that means recent bones all dried up but datable in a cave or sinkhole. If we NEVER get that, then my primary hypothesis goes [reluctantly] back to Yeti as a paranormal critter or [the lesser hypothesis] a conglomeration of errors and folklore tales.

My life is complicated more than usual just at the moment, mainly because I have someone in 5 days a week scanning my files, and for some diabolical reason am having some [mild I hope] health issues [this day in particular --- I'm hoping it's just bad food of some kind.] When I feel good, I can prep the files for scanning [a big task] AND get some reading in for possible blogging. When any little extra burden comes along, the blog goes a'wanting. I'm optimistic, though. Maybe this weekend.....
