Many of us were required to learn about William Bradford from public-school history books, who was/is an historical figure credited (or debited) with the First Thanksgiving in North America as the holder of a musket and gunshooter of a turkey then used as a meal with Atlantic-coast "Indians".
Apparently this historical event is commemorated each year with annual "hunting seasons" that specify which species can be targeted and killed -- although 'hunting' as a word does also refer to the search to find and carry away creatures already dead in the forestlands.
'National Parklands' were concurrently established as a way to provide sanctuary for blameless creatures and also as recreational areas for people to congregate. Within the past five decades, the intent to expand some Scouts of America training camps to full-service parklands was inevitably communicated to wildlife, which have been necessarily reacting to the space constraints of the encroachment (as example, a child harmed during conflict near a waterhole in TN).
To add some bit of countermeasure to such reaction, a large rock upon which wild creatures would in the past relax and sun themselves within close proximity to such a training camp in PA was removed and placed in a sinkhole on the grounds of the University of Pittsburgh campus at Bradford, PA (UPB), where a continuous confusion of wildlife is now exploited with concomitant continuous slaughter during the scheduled "hunting seasons" and also occasionally when the creatures 'trespass' on city or private lands. Sometimes those are pushed onto the properties of firearm holders or into a direct "line of fire" during hunting season, not altogether a difficult task when directing the creatures southward as a direction toward which they normally migrate anyway during the wintertime.
This year, a woman is missing from Ashville, last seen at an automobile dealership in Jamestown, New York (reference: wesb.com) bearing the same surname as a 67-year-old man in Martin County, FL, who directed the recent Presidential elections in the region (reference: Palm Beach, FL, television broadcast). The missing woman has not yet been found in that now-snowy northeastern United States region, and an article this week posted in the Bradford Era newspaper/wesb.com website reports about an 'Above average kill on opening day of bear season', of "...111 bruins, 93 from McKean County, PA..." where the UPB campus is located, at the state line with New York. Another such article was titled, 'Potter County leads first day bear harvest', as "The top...with 152...".
As a slaughter continued because the various species continue to focus upon and move toward 'The Rock' in Bradford Township, there is perhaps some reason to suspect that the disappearance of the missing woman might have occurred as a way to justify the firearm action in a region whose populations must survive knee/waist-deep snowfalls and extreme temperatures in some ways normally buffered by bears hibernating or ranging about in the forests to find frozen carcasses.
Since firearm discharges and firecrackers are also used to warn people in the region from time to time as a way to ensure the safe operation of an oil refinery, some sympathy for the confused and directly-hit at close range wildlife is entirely justifiable.

bog blather
o Ahhh... Having googled 'lobster roach' and consulting a number of different websites, their version of 'lobster roach' is nothing whatsoever the same as the creature I saw. The websites give the scientific name as 'Nauphoeta cinera' "aka speckled roach" -- brown beetles that are very similar to any other roach but "do not fly".
The creature that I saw came running out of a boggy thicket near the St. Lucie River here in Stuart, FL using many legs; it was about three inches long and an inch wide, carrying a perfectly rectangular chitinous exoskeleton and was white, matching only the sand in the soil and at the roadside. The extremely visible exoskeleton resembled exactly the underside of a lobster tail, with dense composition and tough ridges spaced about a half- inch apart. If not a metamorphic phase of the regional spiny lobster, it is perhaps a midway stage of hermit crab protective covering -- i.e., a crab that carries a cast-off lobster-tail 'shell' then switches to univalve seashell.
No one is telling me anything.
o Another mystery cigar on the cement lining of the Walgreen's parking lot addressed at the corner of SE Monterey Road and SE Ocean Boulevard here in Stuart, FL, near the drive-through pharmacy entryway (his vote made real?).
o Another angle investigatible about the number of child deaths may be non-public competition to 'broker' the youngest-aged paycheck as a type of family/cultural competition. Yet another may be the wish to teach children to "witness" changes in their environments -- perhaps with intent to socially engineer "witness protection" -- with the result that small children are guided into the paths of other moving people, sometimes with tragic and deadly results.
o Regional TV broadcast publicized the issue of annual school air-raid drills, where teachers, administrators, and children practice ducking out of classrooms into the hallways to lie crumpled against one wall. Judging from history textbooks and other literature, the English as originators of the classroom education system retain a real fear of more bombs dropped on them following the World War bombing of London in the United Kingdom. The anxiety among "bloodlines of teachers" is very real and is communicated to children during close, unavoidable contact.
Other teacher anxiety issues should be easily addressed by the teachers themselves, such as classroom overcrowding. However, it is possible that cartons of milk have been passed out to very young students as a way to alter the physiological responses of children rather than limit the number of children permitted to occupy any given school classroom. How weird!

wait! those are indigenous!
The 11/22/2008 edition of the Palm Beach Post gives a front-page story titled, 'Lizards' treat a recipe for foreign invasion', that describes the sale of roaches using the Internet to feed lizards. Anyone with a Hartz Mountain childhood knows that the shed carapaces should be "going down a lizard's gullet", or naturally-dead beetles. (The same issue describes Libyans as future U. S. business investors.)
Above: 'biggie bug' insect exoskeleton [time-date stamp is wrong]
An earlier story published in the same newpaper is titled, 'CSI teaches kids with "maggot arts"'. Reminding onlookers of seeds pasted on a variety of surfaces to make pictures, the shed 'husks' of maggots-become-flies are also appropriate feeding fare.
The 'roach' story describes four kinds of such beetles commonly now sold for use as food, two thought to be foreign and one other termed the 'lobster' roach. There are a variety of large roaches near the St. Lucie River, at least one variety a very-loud buzzer, but the so-called lobster roach appears to be the exact incarnation of the underside of a lobster tail, crawling speedily around. They are white and also appear to have inspired the old-fashioned washboard, a much larger ribbed square-metal sheet, hand-held, over which dirty clothes were scrubbed. At first glance they seem to be carrying or hiding in an inverted lobster tail as protection, but the legs and organs are attached. Another name might be "mud-bug", with the definite possibility that the creatures are not really beetles but rather are a stage of a metamorphosis into a real lobster. The creature most closely resembles the segmented 'silverfish', with definite ridges topside.
The paper labels on the Campbell's 'Select Harvest' New England Clam Chowder cans give us a marketplace clue: the slogan "Real Ingredients for Real Taste". A use of roaches or other creatures that shed carapaces to feed 'pet' foreign reptiles will affect the feeding patterns of indigenous wildlife that depends upon insect/other exoskeletal fare to survive.

seasonality
o Miller 'High Life, the Champagne of Beers' has continued its "Limited Edition, Fall Series" "Union Made" aluminum beer cans with a camouflage design.
o Recently, I received a packet of mail from the Teamsters Union offering a loan. Why, I don't know, maybe as a way to merchandise the killed trees as different from the toppled ones 'harvested' this year.
o The Stuart News recently published a photo of a age >five girl named 'Kaylee Allen' who is very similar in appearance to photos of missing tot 'Caylee Anthony'. A professor from the University of Pittsburgh in PA has apparently written up a recitation of possibilities about the personality of "tot-mom" Casey Anthony, with the title 'Casey Anthony: Profile of a Sociopath' viewable at Blogcritics.org website; various comments are included with the entry that agree or disagree with the 'sociopath' designation, or pen confusion. The Ancientworldbloggers. blogspot.com website lists 'Hugh Cayless' among its contributors.
If the indicted young woman has been hazed enough to become antisocial, there are reasons enough to articulate in the blogosphere if not in court records.

'A' is for 'Arkansas', 'B' is for "Barack'...
Hmmm. The containers holding Tofutti frozen deserts found in supermarket frozen-food cases have been changed from plastic to cardboard quite suddenly. The treats are suddenly absent from the nearest market (Milam's) to Kingswood condo complex, but a trek across two bridges to Publix Market on Hutchinson Island reveals the newest container, when totally frozen almost as hard as plastic.
The older-model fleet of 'killer trucks' (as presented in the movie titled 'The Truck' and in various newspaper death notices) has successfully completed renovation of the Sewall's Point bridge renovation and environmental landscaping project, concurrent with other taskwork accomplished such as the retaining-pond drainage and search beside Kingswood Terrace Road. Yet another retaining pond is now located at the bridge entryway on Sewall's Point to Hutchinson Island, with a high-spraying fountain, and has been surrounded with transplanted palm trees.
As another seeming absurdity, tanning beds are advertised in West Palm Beach, soon to be installed in Port St. Lucie.

the Killer Industry Advantage
The Steel-making industry has become the most pervasive human activity capable of almost unimaginable harm from needles to bullets to vehicles airborne, aquatic and cross-land.
The Elliott Museum in Stuart, FL, exhibits one of the first automobiles to bear an identifying name -- the 'Impala'. There appears to be a specific mentality guiding this first-choise of vehicular nomenclature, following perhaps Custer's defeat at the Battle of the Little Big Horn.
Major automakers are found working in watersheds on the fringes (the "frontiers") of the Midwest, where people and jackrabbits have some of their species' largest ears in North America -- perhaps a psychological advantage during inquisitions initiated from coastal regions where small-eared creatures are the predominant 'fit' within those 'strip' regions bounded by both an ocean and major mountain range. Perhaps inevitably, the larger-eared creatures can easily identify their small-eared counterparts with 'juvenile' characteristics, with the result that false parentage behavior guarantees morale problems among inquisitors who succeed only if defleted to Central America.
Having grown up near both Custer City and Killbuck in Pennsylvania, the spectacle of small-eared humans defying the odds in metal machines that are equated in mind and print with large-eared animals jibes perfectly with the fact of continuous reissue of the 'Impala' automobiles. That some car names fail miserably in the marketplace can be held accountable to the Biblical David-and-Goliath encounters of cross-cultural folklore.
Also, the ears of people who habitually drive motor vehicles from day-to-day over time periods of decades become creased and pointed as a result from the constant forward-looking focus, as another sociological angle that hints about the purposes of the car names.
What most people don't know is that car names assigned over time spans of decades can be traced to a handful of people who elicit/'milk' responses from one mind then poll others about that response, such that the neural pathway of least resistance is simple agreement with an 'utterance'. Therefore, it is important to acknowledge the facts about car-name assignment and that such naming activity can be at times harmful; hence the 'lobby laws' now available for all to present their own viewpoints outside any prevailing industry intelligence monopolies.

a sense of outrage and scandal
Not inexplicably, it was easy to feel offended by a TV notice repeatedly broadcast from " the Palm Beaches" weeks ago that "thousands" of KIAs were being offered during a special sale effort from one of their local automobile dealers.
In a similar vein, Palm Beach (Florida) film coverage of local 'Haunted House' installations showed a number of females in various fake-bloody poses suggestive of actual regional car-injury incidents, including one written up in the Stuart News that described a young woman who was thrown from underneath the straps of a seat-belt.
Martin County should have a drive-in theatre. Pidgin English exists with good reason.
