I was at a wildlife refuge in GA. The cougar was hiding and could not be seen. Some much younger guy was there with his girlfriend, so I jokingly suggested he go into the cage and try to flush out the cougar. To my surprise the idiot took me seriously and went into the cage. I was trying to decide that if the animal came after him would I take the picture(s), or call 911. I called the refuge, and they got him out. Sadly, there was no picture to be taken. :-( -- PeterN |

I have friends who say I should not have made the phone call so I could get a great picture. I told them that the cougar would probably have done the deed behind a tree, therefore I made the call. Seriously, there is no accounting for stupidity. -- PeterN |

Mine is that I never get anywhere near close enough to worry about such things. ;-) although the most likely one of those for me would be the tripod catching fire. And the shoes. Don't forget the shoes. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
