Figures I write this morning how bigfoot was not in the news, and then BLAMMO. A bigfoot story, well actually a yeti story. I guess if I have been reading The Hindu more I should have known about it. But The Hindu is not really high on my suggested reading list. I always believed that if bigfoot/yeti was going to be found it will be in the Himalaya mountains.
