    I went to the petting section at the Zoo there as a child right after the got Ruby. She was a baby living with chickens and goats and she reached out to me and placed her little trunk in my hand. It nearly broke my heart when she died years later.

    It’s a tragic how difficult it is to find this movie. The world needs to know the history it has to offer. Knowledge is dangerous to those that insist upon blissful ignorance, that block the opportunity to learn lessons from the past, furthering the detriment of humanity.

    The biggest mistake Phoenix ever made was not building this system and now we all face the consequences with even louder freeways, long commutes, massive parking lots generating heat islands, and spending even more money on constructing more freeway loops.

    The entire “ abduction “ was a complete hoax. Walton was about to lose his entire contract with the local paper mills for failing to produce as required. He was a stoner and frequent recreational drug user, as were most of his crew. For years campers and locals saw strange lights around Snowflake from helicopter flights originating from nearby military installations. They had various light configurations and they would shine them during their flights, and some of these flights were very low level. They would look exactly like some weird UFO from the dark night sky. Locals had been seeing these for years and would laugh when campers or people not from there would freak out over seeing what they thought was a UFO. Walton was never abducted, he went on a speed/weed/drunk binge at a friend’s place and was out of pocket for most of a week. His co workers made up the abduction story as a joke, and as rumors go, it spread out of control. The cops actually pieced it together and knew Walton was lying, but it had gotten national attention and they just kept their mouths shut out of fear of humiliation.

      Nope! If he is I cite him. If it was someone else, I give them credit. If I don't know because news stations didn't always give credit I can't pass any information on. I try to get the reporter, photographer and editor. If Neil was the photographer, he was usually the editor as well.
