No it wasn't a deer.... We've been in this house for over 40 years, and this morning when I get up around 5:30am I look out the dining room door and see something curled up on the mat. Generally it's one of the cats. Looked closer and the cats don't have snouts. Thought it might be a stray dog. Walked over toward the door and it gets up and starts to walk away. It's got a big long bushy tail. Not a dog...it's a fox!! I've seen a lot of animals around here over the years since we live close to a river and a wildlife center, but this is the first and only time I've ever seen a fox, and it acted like one of the family.... Intertaining to say the least.....

Since beginning work (July 2nd) here in the Bayou's and marshlands of my beloved State we have managed to rescue/save hundreds of brown pelicans-white pelicans, and birds of all species native to this area.... We have 26 Wildlife Transport Vehicles + 28 Drivers. We average from 400 to 900 miles per day (with only 4 hours off for sleep per day.... and NO days off) shuttling the wildlife to Emergency Triage Centers not far from our 3 designated receiving Stations. The damage is unbelievable....both to that of the wildlife and the beautiful habitat. You won't see this on the MSM News as it all would make the Administration and Bureaucrats look bad. For anyone who foolishly believes that this is only Louisianna's "problem" just watch what happens when that oil mass (which is now larger than the land mass of Tenn.) comes around Florida and makes its way up the Eastern seaboard all the freaking way to Bar Harbor Maine. Boomer....who hopes to hell this mess brings BP to its knees and a LOT of worthless Elected officials drown in this oil mess too.

Yesterday I saw with my own eyes the disaster that has befallen the Gulf....and its direct impact upon my home State and the Cajuns who inhabit this area. I don't cry easily but I shed tears when I saw the devastation in the bayous, beautiful wild birds oil-coated and unable to fly....and the great number of those who simply died in a struggle for life. Our Base Camp is in Hopedale,La. There are several thousand people working there to clean the oil booms and get that black crud out of the bayous. Throughout the long day I saw no one goofing off....everyone is going at this cleanup with a fury of human effort. We are busy transporting oil-slicked birds to Ft. Jackson in Venice-La which is 60 miles away from Hopedale. At Ft. Jackson folks there are working 24/7 to clean and save the birds and any other wildlife that is brought in. My Company has 28 specially-equipped vehicles for transporting the wildlife. We are working hand-in-hand with La. Wildlife and Fish to save as much of the wildlife as humanly possible......and we roll 24/7 in this endeavor. Yesterday I had a chance to talk to some of the local Cajuns whose lives have been turned upside down by this disaster. There is not much hope but there is a burning resolve to do what they can to save whatever is possible in this beautiful land that they have called Home for generations. Boomer.....driving hard down here....and to hell with getting a lot of sleep.

This is my favorite national park I have been here twice before and I will be back again. If I could only go to one national park this would be it. This park is special to me because of the animals I like to see wildlife and there is no other place I have ever been that has the wildlife like yellowstone. There is something very exciting about riding a scooter through a heard of buffalo that I can't explain. we were going to stay for 3 days and wound up staying for 7 days wolfie still did not want to leave.
