We were really rockin' last night

The green eyes you saw sounds creepy! You do live dangerously don't you mark? But I always say if you're not livin' on the edge, you're not really living.

As far as the TopGun "guest" mystery goes, really no mystery at all...

Cookies 101

Thermit has more cookies than Famos Amos and I don't like storing them in my browser (stored cookies, and other files stored temporarily slows down your computer!) so I continual delete my cookie caches throughout the day. There are more than one place cookies are stored...in your browser (Internet Explorer, not sure about Netscape)under "tools"...leads to "Internet Options"...leads to an area that says "temporary Internet files" which has "delete files"...click this...leads to... "delete all files in the Temporary files"...click "yes". Beside the "delete files" little box will say "settings"...now you click on this...three little boxes pop up, one says "view files" click it on...ta da you are now looking at the cookies which have been stored in your browser! to delete them click on "edit" to which you "select all" then when they're selected and highlighted under "file" right beside "edit"...click on "file" to which you will choose "delete". Now click "OK" in that window...it will close leaving the window that has the "clear History" button...by clicking on this you are deleting everything in your "history" ie.temporary pages stored in browser of where you have recently visited on web. I do this a lot! Keeps my rocket humming right along

Here's another place where certain cookies are found from let's say a porn site that you accidently got lead to etc...At the bottom of browser (screen) is the "start" button...click it then click "setting" and another window pops up with four options...click on "taskbar and start menu"... at the top is "general" and "advanced"...click "advanced"...where you will find more options on the right...click "advanced" again...on the left you will see all these file folders...find the one that says "cookies" and click it on and there you have all the stubborn cookies...one of them will no doubt be one of Thermit's (cgi-bin)...you may delete these individually after checking out their propertie to see what they're for...right click you mouse to get to "properties".

Of course, you can always adjust your firewall/or browser to block cookies (I believe this is what Mav said he is doing now) but I find this a pain as it interfers with the accessing of websites!

Now let's say if Mav drops by and even logs in...reads or makes a post then exits and deletes all his cookies there will be no record of Mav being here...he is simply a "guest". Or he can even delete his cookies as soon as he enters forum...read and exit and no record of Mav being here.

Try it...you'll like it!

Here are a few sites to visit that may answer a few questions that you may have. Delphi, you live in one of the hottest areas in the country for Bigfoot sightings. I'm not going to say that's what you saw, but the howling that you mention sounds very similar to a lot of the sighting reports.

Here's the most respected of the BF sites, from the Bigfoot Researcher's Organization. Be sure to check out their geographic database, especially in the Louisiana/East Texas/Arkansas area.

For a little more local flavor, check out this site by the Gulf Coast Bigfoot Researcher's Organization. They are a little more speculative and less scientific, but they do have some very interesting (and very harrowing) eyewitness accounts in their U.S. sighting database. Delphi, you will find a ton of reports on this site from your area.

You get a pretty good indication of how small the "eyes" are on the second page
of the report when the child is standing on the same log with the red dots in the frame.
It was probably an animal, but who knows what it was. A juvenile Bigfoot,
maybe. From the sighting databases, these critters allegedly like to remain still
rather than run if they don't think that they've been spotted. They are also curious
enough to be attracted to noises, particularly children.

Don't tell the other Agents that I told you this, or I'll never hear the end of it in the office.

I did see your post. I didn't want to ruin the thread by posting over there, since a few of the members would have probably channeled their creative energy in a different direction. So, I figured that I'd leave well enough alone.

Thanks for the story, by the way!
