Suburban Generalist » 4th of July family trip
Every summer we take a family trip to my mom’s house in western Kentucky. It’s about about an 8 hour drive so lately we’ve been breaking the trip in half with a night at the Comfort Inn & Suites in Effingham. There’s not a lot happening in The Ham … Friday, July 3, we (the 4 of us plus my sister Kelly) took the Bayliner out on Kentucky Lake. It was my first time captaining on my own and it did not start out well. The boat wouldn’t plane out and strugged to reach 15 mph. … read more…

The Naked Vine: Wine Advice for the Rest of Us.™: Finger Lake'n …
Their wines were clearly “made for the tourists” — lots of cheap, sweet plonk that they’d been selling to tour busses from NYC and bachelorette parties for years. We were filled with trepidation — and then our luck changed: … Absolutely delicious. Friendly atmosphere as well. They also were one of the few wineries that shipped to Kentucky, so we took full advantage. So, all in all, what did we think? For scenic beauty, the lake views were hard to beat. … read more…

Resolved Question: Do black panthers exist?
I am from Kentucky and yes i have seen a BLACK PANTHER. It was running across the parking lot at Paintsville Lake State park. I was on guard duty that night. This thing wasnt slim like a house cat. It was very Muscualar in the shoulders and black as coal. It was running across a small area behind the guard booth where you drive to the Rv and tent areas. but it was running from the direction of the lake to the wooded area to the right of the guard booth. I saw it and that Doctor whoever he is on Monster quest is DEAD WRONG because Black Panthers are in Kentucky. I had a cousin who caught a black cat when i was about 7. This cat was about half the size of a boxer dog and its teeth were about 1 inch long and about 3/16 inch thick where they went into its gums. About the size of a dogs canines. This cat was kinda mean and sneaky. Ill never forget this cat. Im thinking maybe an offspring of one of these panthers. No pictures of this cat so noones gonna believe me. This was about 1979 or so. I saw this thing from about 25 feet and it was Muscular in the front shoulders. Also we saw a Cougar at the same lake jump down on a picknick table and eat someones hamburger meat. These people left it there because their grill was heating up to fry them. The Cougar was slimmer than what we should NAME the BLACK PANTHER and meke it a new species. Heres the reason. Being so close to it i know that the tail was nearly the same length. But this cat was bigger in build in the front shoulders or as a scientist ( WHOM DONT KNOW EVERYTHING)haunches is way bigger and more Muscular. This cat would tear a cougar or (Mountain Lion) a new one in a confrontation. If you get what im saying. So im telling you people now i purposely answered my own question because im sick of hearing all this garbled trash talk saying there is no black panther. Remember the Snow leopard. Well They discovered a new species of slow leopard in 2007. Do not tell me we have discovered all things because we have not.
I saw a guy on Monster quest claim that a Black Panther wasnt a different species and black pantheres dont really exist as a species.Well I hereby name this Species Black Panther. If some idiot can breed 2 pure breed dogs and call it a picapoo after making a mutt just because he or she is rich I CAN NAME THIS CAT. I know they are here whether we like it or not. Personally i find them stunningly beautiful. I saw one up close for a fact. Now for all you scientist who think you know how to study something. First of all you dont get on a 1 hour program (Which Sucked By the way) and go to areas for 2 days at a time and expect a sighting. Heck you dont go to a place for 5 years and expect a sighting when what you are looking for is this elusive. YOU LIVE there if you really want to know. Also you go out at night alot and go on alot of camping trips and hiking trips. It may take a year it may take 10 years. However you may be one of those people who always get what you want because of luck and see one in the first week (Of course terrified and in disbelief like i was) They are real and they are a different species. You are not staying in a place long enough to see one. If you scientists wanna see one take my advise. Its gonna take more perhaps than even 15 years of living in a very secluded wooded area. There you go there is your tool use it you will see one. James Dheel out.
Also this thing was Way bigger than a bobcat. About the size of a black lab or rotweiler. No this was not any bobcat. I was 25 to 35 feet from it . It was Very muscular in front also. And like i said way larger than a bobcat.Id say by the density of its muscles about close to 100 LBS.
Resolved Question: Has anybody been to Rough River Lake in Kentucky?
If you plan to be in Kentucky this year be sure to visit Rough River Lake in Kentucky. They have some of the best campsites I’ve ever come across. A lot of the campsites are waterfront and if you have a boat you can tie it up in front of your campsite. Check out this blog site for more information and maybe you’ll decide to visit if you’re in Kentucky

Resolved Question: Picture this! What lure would you be fishing with?
Ok, picture this. You’re on a partly stained man-made lake in …. Southeastern Kentucky! It’s a 710-acre lake, with good populations of bass, walleye & crappie. (Fishing for bass.) The water is medium-depth, with signs of 12-14 inch bass in the shallows, along the shoreline. There isn’t much cover for bass, w/ a couple man-made structures for them to hang out. Approximately %60 of the bass being largemouth, with the spotted bass coming 2nd, and the smallmouth bass at third. There’s a couple boats out on the spot, creating ripples on the water. Lot’s of huge shad & bluegills w/ minnows & crayfish nearly absent. The bass are looking lazy, and you’re kind of looking for a reaction bite instead of hunger. 5 lb. bass are not uncommon but, most bass caught are between 14-18 inches, with some brutes heading toward 8 lbs. Soooo … What lures & equipment would you be a tossin’?
Early Spring.
Rooster Tail, good lure, got a couple in my tackle box too.
I agree bassplayer, that pop-r would be deadly in this place. The Rapala floating minnow would be a choice of mine also.
Pucknut, the shad/bluegill skirted spinnerbaits are killer. Nice pick.
Random question of the day…When you have it, what’s your fast food of choice? And any particular meal?
