I've never really wondered about this, except for the 4 pre-war Auto Union racecars left in a German tunnel near the Polish border. We know where those went.

We’ll start with perhaps the most well-documented of them, the Chrysler Norseman. Designed in Virgil Exner’s studio and built by Ghia in 1956, the show car featured a Hemi and an A-pillarless cantilevered roof. Ghia loaded the crated car on the Andrea Doria to ship it to Chrysler, but in July of that year, the Andrea Doria sank after a collision with another ship, as detailed by David LaChance in the August 2009 issue of Hemmings Classic Car. While other artifacts from the shipwreck have since been retrieved, the Norseman remained at the bottom of the Atlantic and will never again see daylight.

According to David Bright, a diver who visited the Andrea Doria and the Norseman sometime before the mid-1990s,

The crate had disintegrated and the car was in very, very poor condition. The ocean’s salt water invaded the Norseman’s metal and most of the car is rust, corrosion and a heap of indistinguishable junk. The tires are still there and have assisted to [sic] its identification. I have been back to the cargo area several times (it is pretty scary in the cargo hold because the ship is lying on its starboard side) and visited the Norseman on a couple other occasions…. I have not been back to this cargo site since 1994 and with all the decay that the wreck has had over the past 10 years, it is doubtful if I will (or anyone else) ever get a chance to see the remains of the Norseman again.

One footnote to the story of the Norseman of import to this story: Several other cars – sources say eight – also accompanied the Norseman on that last voyage of the Andrea Doria. Rumors abound as to their identities, but to date no automotive historian has produced a manifest identifying those other cars.

Fucking coyote.

:mad:

He must be from ISIS.

He got another chicken yesterday.

Big stupid was outside and alerted me to the event.

The only silver lining is that it was the rooster, but that's the end of free-ranging...
 
I think that I've read that they have about a 30-mile territory that they roam. Once the sucker eats, it moves on for about a week or so. I saw it once and was keeping the AR by the door, but we've never seen it since. The Queen heard when he took the last one and she was outside and in proximity, so people don't deter him in the least little bit. Big stupid heard the one yesterday, but dachshunds are shitty trackers...
 
The Queen wants a German Shepherd.


I'm not sure. Maybe a pound mutt...


But I'm not going to fucking "adopt" it. Talk about nonsense.
 
Have a good one!



I'm getting more snacks today to feed the Queen tonight.

She needs to taste this goodness and I can have it done in 11 minutes. I timed it yesterday.
 
The local news is cracking me up.


They're telling me that there is little or no chance of rain today. Of course, it's raining...
 
There used to be bounties here for coyotes, but they lifted that two years ago. People still hunt them to keep their numbers down and there are always the large live traps the farmers put out. I don't like poisons, they spread around to all the local wildlife. Big dogs don't deter them much, they just seem to get sneakier but if it has a taste for chicken it will be back, they seem to get addicted to livestock.

The minions are early 20 somethings, they are learning the trade. The 2 guys are faster and working on the rotted boards but the girl is a better finish carpenter and she's building the new gate. They were on time and went right to work.

My neighbour that's recovering from the heart attack was outside this morning when I walked the pups. We stopped and talked for a few minutes, he looks good but he seemed tired.

My guys are working at the shop, the front repairs are ongoing, but it isn't slowing us down anymore. I'm tackling some paperwork and later today we'll start moving stuff to the basement.

The houseguest I was expecting has already called and cancelled, she had a work issue come up.

And they say no rain here either but it has already sprinkled once.
 
That's one thing that I am worried about, once we become the local grocery store, he's never going to stop shopping. The coop is like Fort Knox, but eventually even it can be cracked.


:(


I don't want to have to purchase a large trap, but that might be the only answer. Then again, the nearby retired cop who has a German Shepherd might get pissed if I trap his dog. I am constantly running it off with the .22...
