A Grass Valley man says he came face-to-face with Bigfoot. He said he’s getting ready to spot the creature again using balloons. William Barnes, a miner, used to camp for up to five months every year — just him and his tent, until one night he saw a creature so mysterious he doesn’t rest so easy outdoors anymore. “It just wandered left and right down the canyon here. Then it went 30 feet from car. It was close enough I could reach through the tent and touch it. My heart beating so hard I could hear it,” said William. Barnes says he will never be the same after his encounter. This gold miner was camping near Greenhorn Creek in July 1997, when at 2 am, he came face to face with Bigfoot. “It took me 4 years to mention it to the first person — one of my best friends,” said William. Once William opened up about his heart-stopping sighting with the 500-pound mysterious ape, he found out he was not alone. “About 80 percent don’t report it because they get ridiculed,” said William. But William says 16 people in the area told him they’ve seen the same monstrous mystery. If there are all these sightings, where are the footprints? William hasn’t seen any in Nevada County. He just says look on the ground. William will set out on a road less traveled, planning to spend a year and 0000 hunting for the Sasquatch from the sky. “I want to film it in the wild not for one minute not for five minutes, but 45 minutes,” said William. He plans to fly 35-foot helium balloons over 13

On the night of Tuesday 22nd September Sydney experienced a wind and dust storm like no other in history with flash lightning, up to 9mm of pouring rain, and howling winds gusting up to 95 km per hour measured by the Buro of Meteorology. By 5am on Wednesday morning, Sydney was engulfed in orange dust, blown by 95 km per hour winds carrying thousands of tons of the fine dust from outback Australia, leaving the whole city sky with an eerie orange glow. The airport was closed, Sydney Ferries were shut down and city buildings, homes and cars were covered in orange dust, the likes of which had never been experienced before. The crazy people at Kangaroo Tent City chose to go camping in this storm on Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour, to test the performance of various tents in extreme conditions. 86 tents were set up and tested. Dome tents by Coleman, Black Wolf, Diamantina and Roman. Canvas tents by Diamantina and Campmor. After the storm was over on Wednesday afternoon, an inspection of all 86 tents revealed only 3 tents had broken poles from the storm. 75 of these tents were the Campmor Hennie Canvas Dome Tent and not one of these tents had any damage. Every tent was still standing. This video footage was taken at 8am on Wednesday morning, whilst the winds were still blowing at more than 50km per hour, and as you can see, every tent is still up. An amazing result given the ferocity of the winds, and the fact that Cockatoo Island camping ground is in a highly exposed location

Mr. Tax and Spend Man Chorus hey mr tax and spend man, write a bill for me I’m on welfare and there ain’t no work I wanna do. hey mr tax and spend man, write a bill for me and some cold November morning i’ll come voting for you —– I know this evil empire caused all the woes of man so I’ll just shout “yes we can” ’cause , really, who needs facts when you’ve got feelin’? And just because he works for his , and I don’t work for mine, I think that that’s just fine, and I’ll vote that party line, ’cause you’ll tell me if I need it it ain’t stealin’ [chorus] and those teabag racists gatherin’ sayin’ socialism’s wrong. sayin’ freedom makes us strong. singin’ that same tired song. Go get Glenn Beck to tell another fable. And they say that every dime I take will make me less than free. I don’t care ’bout liberty. I need my big screen TV, And I can’t get that and put food on my table. [chorus] and I know if I need somethin’, all I have to do is call. I know you can do it all, Buy my gas and pay my rent, make the rich live in a tent, I voted now so you owe me a favor. and together with some hope and change, we’ll make this country great, so it’s time to legislate, economy to stimulate, live in eco-friendly huts, rainbows shinin’ out our butts, and the unicorns and fairies do our labor. [chorus]
