An unknown wild animal is on the loose in Northern Florida. Some reports say it is a baby bigfoot or skunk ape. Others say it is an orangutan. Still others think it might just be a squirrel. A bear hunter said that the unknown creature stole some of his jelly donuts. Wildlife officials are now trying to capture the mysterious animal and are using donuts as a lure. This makes sense to me as there is not much in nature that is as irresistible as a donut. I just have to wonder how healthy it is to feed animals jelly donuts. When I go to the local zoo I remember seeing signs saying don’t feed the animals people food. I don’t know what orangutans or bigfeet eat but I am pretty sure it is not part of their natural diet. If donuts don’t work maybe they should try a cheese danish.

Amazon is releasing the Kindle wireless reading device. They are billing it as the future of book reading. I haven’t seen one person but it looks to be larger than a PDA. They say it is lighter than a paperback. There are more than 88,000 books available and over 100 magazines. You can also read blogs off of it and Word documents. The Wi-Fi lets you download books and you can sample books before you buy. It will hold over 200 titles. Now I like the idea of the Kindle but will it replace books? I like the feeling and smell of books. An electronic device just doesn’t have the same feel. I also wonder how the screen is on your eyes. I love gadgets but this is one of those items I would want to see and touch before I committed to buying one. I don’t want to plunk down $399 for an item that becomes a dust collector. You can buy one here and you can let me know how you like it.
