• The Buck

  Maybe you have read about THE BUCK; the one that exploded my arrow and is still wandering the woods in Wirt County.  Maybe you haven't read about THE BUCK.  So go read the previous entries.  I'll wait....  Okay, moving on.

  Then It Dawned Upon Me

  Maybe it was due to a question asked by godslily.  The beautiful newly wed has deep insight into the mysteries of the  world and asked if that buck could be Ninja.

  Then I pondered.... she must be right! 

  I have a hard time believing in aliens.  After all, they're only made up in Hollywood.  Alien?  But the Ninja, now there's something that is real.  And still hidden from most Western infidels.  Their uncanny skills of disguise, their lightening like reflexes, all their hidden weapons, their ART!  We've seen it on TV; we've read it in books; and I've even met Stephen Hayes, the Father of American Ninjitsu (though some may argue that the arrow catching Ronald Duncan is the Father).

  So it wasn't the Independence Day -like forcefield.  The forcefield would have made a flash when the speeding arrow had hit it, and there was no flash.  Now it becomes clear.

  The Ninja Buck must have trained under one of the American Fathers of Ninjitsu.  He's probably the Master of those woods, protecting the other inhabitants of the forest with his prowess.  That must be it!

  I replay the shot in my mind as I type.  Now I realize that he had spotted me though acting oblivious to my presence.  His coolness was only maintained by his ever-ready vigilance as he approached my concealed spot.  His muscles, though relaxed, were ready to spring into action at the slightest hint of danger.

  With my bow fully drawn, he walked into the kill zone.  The release of the string sent the razor-bladed, chisel tipped graphite arrow towards his heart at an incredible speed.  His keen hearing picked up the gentle whisper of the string moving as it released certain death.  With his super reflexes as if time had come to a standstill, he drew his concealed sword, slashed the arrow into two meaningless and harmless pieces, and slammed the sword home in its sheath.  That was the crack that I heard.  All of that in less than a blink of an eye.  A high speed camera would have only caught the blur of some movement as he saved his own life.

  The Ninja Buck jumped into a deer position and looked around to maintain his disguise as a common deer.  It had me fooled the entire time.  Since no retaliation came in the form of a shuriken through my eye, this warrior buck walks in peace, and still survives.

  I will test his skills even further in the next week.  I'll be back, hidden differently, when an aroma of a doe in heat penetrating the air to see if his self-control is as advanced as it can be.  If I never see him again, then he has bested me with his skills.  He will have won this conflict, but I'll still have enjoyed the hunt.

  Two Weeks From Now

  In a couple of weeks the stakes will raise.  The Ninja Buck will no longer be pitting his skills against a 300 feet per second moving arrow that is 26" long, but against a 3000 feet per second moving .30-06 round weighing in at 150g and only about 1" long.  Then we'll truly see if he is THE MASTER NINJA BUCK!

  If you know what this means, my M70 Winchester eagle claw sniper rifle with rangefinder 3.5x 10 variable scope with 50mm objective has a confirmed at 457 yards.  Just a tidbit for those that understand.

  Then Again

  I got a report from the doctor today about my episode that happened on Thursday, October 25th.  The blood work and the tests did not come back good.  I don't fully understand about arterial blood gases, but the partial oxygen level was at 60 (way too low), the carbon dioxide was at 60+ (way too high), oxygen content was low and the saturation was in the 80s.  Those results can be based on factors of poor lung working (which the docs don't say is the problem), being a diabetic (which I am, but it's in control and not a problem), kidney failure (had passed two kidney stones if that counted), and something to do with the liver.  According to the docs, I don't fit the profile for having those results.

  However, the night of the tests were went I went in for a #10+ migraine and severe pain with a b/p of 185/145.  They said I had a seizure in the emergency room waiting room and took me back for whatever they did to me.  I remember waking up 2 days later with bandaids all over me, along with the blood that had seeped out from under them.

  I think that severe pain can cause things to happen in the body that "practicing" doctors do NOT understand.  When the neurological part goes crazy, wrong signals can be sent everywhere in the body and who knows what will happen with the electric lines all crossed over.

  And now I have a sinus infection, my blood pressure has not sufficiently come down, and my TMJ along with the migraine is trying to kill me.  So there!  I'm a wreck, but I'm still surviving.

  What do I do next?  I got in Thursday morning for alot of tests.  If I could read this thing, it looks like TSH, CBe, CMP, ABC's, one for Micro. Albium, lipid profile, hBA1C, CXR, Dx Hypoxic, dysime letlungy, DM lype  2, HTW.  I can't read that writing, that's what it looks like to me.  I know what a couple are, like the lipid profile and the hBA1C.  I haven't even looked up the others yet.  Another continuing saga!
  
  The FogWalker heads off to oblivion...
