Note: This was Tim’s last video. He died of a heart attack a few days later.

In the video titled “Colt Creek Bigfoot Encounter along powerline at Hampton track,” published on November 11, 2019, Tim embarks on a field expedition into a remote area to continue his investigation into potential Bigfoot activity. This area, characterized by a powerline corridor and dense foliage, offers a promising location for setting up trail cameras. The objective of his research is to maintain a series of cameras in rotation, capturing images that could provide evidence of Bigfoot or other wildlife activity. Tim’s commitment to this pursuit is evident as he meticulously plans for regular visits to change media cards and check camera placements.

Tim’s exploration of the area reveals several notable observations. Upon entering the section, he detects movement, which, although obscured by brush, raises the possibility of an upright figure, potentially a Bigfoot. However, he is quick to acknowledge the common issue of perceptual errors in such environments, where ordinary sightings can be misinterpreted as extraordinary. Among the findings, scratches observed on trees suggest the presence of large animals, potentially big cats. Tim is cautious in his interpretation, recognizing the importance of attributing such marks correctly, as they offer insights into animal behavior in the area.

The methodical approach Tim employs in his fieldwork is a testament to his dedication and experience. His strategy involves leveraging natural features, such as water sources, as congregation points for animals. He notes, “Animals don’t go to bars, but they do go to the water,” highlighting the significance of these sites in tracking wildlife. Tim’s keen eye for detail is further demonstrated by his focus on potential evidence, such as the cat scratches and a possible structure, which he evaluates critically rather than jumping to conclusions.

The significance of Tim’s investigation lies in its contribution to the broader understanding of Bigfoot sightings and wildlife patterns in remote areas. By systematically collecting data and analyzing natural formations and animal behaviors, Tim provides a grounded perspective on what might otherwise be dismissed as folklore. His efforts underscore the importance of thorough, evidence-based research in exploring phenomena that straddle the line between myth and reality. As Tim navigates these challenging terrains, his work continues to add depth and context to the ongoing discourse on Bigfoot and its potential existence.

Post Surgery

Not a pretty sight. Sandy took this snapshot of me in PostOp. My hernia repair surgery went fine. I’m home now, but managing quite a bit of post-surgical pain. A few takeaways from the experience: I had no idea how many people are involved in surgery, all the nurses before, during, and after; I also was surprised by how fast the anesthesia kicked in. One minute I was staring at the lights above the operating table, and then suddenly I’m waking up in the recovery room. There was no sense of time or duration. Boom! It was all over with.

Visit to the Huntington

Today, I ventured to the Huntington Library, only to be confronted by an enormous red modernist metal sculpture—an eyesore that immediately assaulted my sensibilities. One can scarcely fathom the logistical gymnastics involved in its creation and installation. The grounds remain marred by ceaseless construction, a Sisyphean endeavor that appears destined to persist indefinitely.

My pilgrimage was prompted by an exhibition of the works of Celia Paul, a British painter previously relegated to the periphery of my artistic awareness. Paul’s oeuvre is an introspective exploration of self-portraits, familial bonds, and the relentless, indifferent sea. Her mother’s death seems to haunt these canvases, with Paul claiming to sense her mother’s spirit in the ocean’s depths. Her art is suffused with an ineffable melancholy, a somberness that permeates each brushstroke, evoking an almost palpable sense of sorrow and introspection.

Shakespeare Coriolanus

Shakespeare Coriolanus [ Caedmon]

Caedmon’s Coriolanus, fronted by a granite-voiced Richard Burton, is one of those LPs that feels like it’s been carved out of a hillside rather than recorded in a studio. Burton doesn’t so much speak the verse as detonate it—every line flares with that volcanic Welsh baritone that made even his grocery lists sound operatic. Jessica Tandy, Michael Hordern, Robert Stephens, and the rest of the cast round things out with a clean, unfussy delivery that keeps the focus exactly where it belongs: on Shakespeare’s most abrasive, least domesticated tragedy.

Director Howard Sackler opts for austerity—no sonic fireworks, no theatrical gimmickry. Just actors, breath, and text. And surprisingly, that’s enough. The result is a taut, muscular performance that captures the play’s chilly political undercurrents without ever slipping into doctrinaire sermonizing. Yes, it’s an artifact of the early ’60s Shakespeare boom, but it hasn’t yellowed. Like Coriolanus himself, it barreled into the world already half-made of stone.

Exploring an Old Mining Area: Florida Sasquatch Research Insights

In this intriguing installment of Tim’s Bigfoot research series, we delve into his latest investigation titled “Florida Sasquatch Team in an old mining area.” Published on March 13, 2019, the video explores a specific region within Florida that has recently been the site of a reported Sasquatch sighting. Tim, along with his team, embarks on an expedition into the woods with the hope of uncovering evidence of the elusive creature often reported in such remote locations.

The video captures the essence of fieldwork as Tim’s team navigates the challenging terrain of the old mining area. One of the notable elements from the transcript is the determination and camaraderie among the team members. Despite the light-hearted moments, such as when they jokingly discuss camera angles focusing on “six-pack abs,” the team’s dedication to their mission is evident. Tim’s approach involves not just physical endurance but also a keen attention to detail, as they utilize monitoring equipment to capture potential evidence of Sasquatch activity.

Tim’s methodology in this investigation appears to be a mix of traditional fieldwork and modern technology. The use of a monitor attached to their recording equipment allows the team to see what they are filming in real-time, enhancing their ability to capture any fleeting evidence of Bigfoot. This setup is crucial in such environments, where sightings can be rare and brief. Tim emphasizes the importance of being prepared and using the right tools to document their surroundings effectively.

The significance of this investigation lies in its contribution to the broader search for Sasquatch within Florida, a state not commonly associated with such sightings. By focusing on an old mining area with a recent sighting report, Tim’s team is strategically targeting locations that could yield new insights into the existence of Bigfoot. This particular investigation offers viewers a glimpse into the rigorous and sometimes arduous nature of Bigfoot research, highlighting both the physical and mental challenges faced by researchers in the field.

Overall, Tim’s video not only documents an expedition in search of Sasquatch but also underscores the importance of perseverance and preparation in field research. By inviting viewers to “come out with us,” Tim seeks to demystify the process and encourage a deeper engagement with the natural world, suggesting that such experiences can be transformative. This approach not only furthers the investigation into Bigfoot but also fosters a greater appreciation for the environment in which these legends persist.

This is a 1964 recording of Shakespeare’s “King John” by The Shakespeare Recording Society, distributed by Caedmon Records. The production was directed by Howard Sackler and featured:

  • Donald Wolfit as King John
  • Kenneth Haigh as the Bastard (Philip Faulconbridge)
  • Rosemary Harris as Constance

This was part of a comprehensive series by the Shakespeare Recording Society to record all of Shakespeare’s plays. The series was notable for featuring distinguished British actors and high production values.

The album artwork is particularly striking, featuring a medieval-style illustration with armies, tents, and castles that captures the play’s historical setting during the reign of King John (1199-1216). The stylized art reflects the period’s illuminated manuscript aesthetic.

“King John” is one of Shakespeare’s less frequently performed history plays, focusing on political intrigue, the conflict with France, and the king’s troubled relationship with the nobility and the Pope. Having this on vinyl would have been an important cultural artifact in the 1960s, when recorded drama helped bring classical theater to wider audiences.
