Straight out of news of the weird

So, maybe a month or so ago Kristi was sitting shotgun in the morning while Oscar was driving and they basically chatted the whole ride south. I couldn't sleep and I think they were loud because I distinctly remember hearing Kristi saying something like, "Man, I'd like to see some nature today. You know, like a big Sasquatch or something." At the time I remember thinking that's kind of funny, but maybe not worth a blog post. I tell you this because yesterday the Sasquatch reared it's ugly big foot again. The moral here is, it's always worth blogging.

The story goes, I forgot my ipod at work yesterday and was sitting in the back row of the van chatting with Alison and Trent who were sitting in the middle row. At some point in our conversation (which went on forever) I realized that Kristi and Sara (sitting in the first row) were talking, and from the looks of it I was potentially missing something blogworthy. This concern was confirmed for me when I heard this from Kristi: "So, they've been seeing a whole lot more of these types of droppings recently. And, I don't know if it's like Sasquatch or if it's not real. Cause, you know, my son's father has actually seen Sasquatch, so that's real." Awesome.

The thing is, because Alison and Trent were talking I don't actually know what Kristi and Sara were talking about. However, I'm sure of the following: 1) Kristi believes in Sasquatch, 2) she also believes that there is some other cryptid migrating from Canada to the Pacific Northwest. Anyone have any idea what type of creature she could be talking about?

There were points during the ride when I wanted to shush Alison and Trent so that I could listen to Kristi. Of course, sometimes when I'm listening to my ipod I take out the earpieces if I think that Kristi is saying something wacky.

On a pretty unrelated note, Kristi's been wearing what can only be described as sewn together cloche-type do-rags. I've been waiting to post this while trying to find a picture on the web, but I just can't find one so I'll do my best in describing it. She's got a few of them, all of them are either plain pastel colored or pastel camo patterned. I guess what I mean by cloche-type is that they gather at the nape of the neck, and are sewn together there. I say do-rag, because they're cotton t-shirt material. That's the best I can do to describe them. They're pretty bizarre; I have no idea where you get one, but I think I love them (for Kristi, I'm not looking for any gifts here).
