  • And they must have been hellacious.....living on the mosquito infested Gulf Coast......they coated themselves in gator fat to keep the mosquitoes at Bay.....

    I have been duck hunting in their habitat and the mosquitoes were so thick that you inhaled them.

    Have spent a good amount of time fishing Carancawa Reef.

    Yup....the musta been some kinda bad.

  • Sorry, my computer was terminal.  It was partly because of the major case made about the photo shopped giant's skull; a tongue in cheek response.  But mostly because I was reading James A. Michener's Texas, which book has impressed me greatly.  The Karankawa were just ONE thing I didn't know before, and I'm betting you're the only one here who did know about them.  Another funny thing about that book--there are no heroes.  Those who have been lauded as heroes all these years were frequently cold blooded killers or scuмbags of another sort.  I am up to the cινιℓ ωαr now and am sure glad I have the computer to retreat to again.  There is just so much senseless slaughter I can stand.
