Tom Van Dyke
Tom Van Dyke, businessman, musician, bon vivant and game-show champ (The Joker's Wild, and Win Ben Stein's Money), knows lots of stuff, although not quite everything yet.
A past contributor to The American Spectator Online, the late great Reform Club blog, and currently on religion and the American Founding at American Creation, TVD continues to write on matters of both great and small importance from his ranch type style tract house high on a hill above Los Angeles.
I wish they’d put up signs saying “remember, you don’t have to be faster than the bear, you just have to be faster than your friend.”
Slightly off topic, but there used to be posters in the parks with a rugged guy looking off out of frame with the caption. “XX number of people die in our parks each year. Most look like him”. Essentially it was a caution against overconfidence. I thought it was funny until I pulled a boner move and almost needed a rescue myself.
I love the bison warning flyer from Yellowstone. We once had t-shirts with the flyers printed on them (made by my wife). Yellowstone employees really dug them.
Bah, just google it.
Bullshit. If you ran the National Park Service you’d sell it to the Church to turn into an oil refinery that pours its oil directly onto baby seals while blowtorching whatever glaciers might be present and enslaving black lesbian women.

You’re getting the hang of it, Kazzy. Pretty soon we’ll have to put you on the masthead around here.
On Dutch Courage?
