"I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell...

Mission Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Is that what got Red Jessi then? I shudder to think what the folks in Blue Heaven though of me bringing her in with what looked like a black eye. (Especially being dressed like a pirate.) Although several still wanted photos, so it must not have been that bad. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers at the Fort said...was either a spider...fluffy catipillar...or scorpian....so i am tellin everyone scorpian....sounds better to be throttled by a scorpian...than half eaten by a fluffy catipillar...

Captain Jim Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Well, scorpions don't leave such a mark and are unlikely to show up in such numbers. Catepillars, however, do show up in groups. I once rubbed up against one of the saddlebacks on my arm, wrist to elbow, and thought that I had run up against a hot ember, unlikely while just walking through the woods. Welts, scabs and sloughing about a week later. Sounds like the critter, but visual evidence is better. Photos, anyone? My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
