Now I'll be making that a sprint from the car to the back door tonight. I didn't know about the myth of the Jersey Devil, how cruel of the mother, but to have one of our Founding Fathers indulging in such shenanigans? Well, it's to be expected. He was an interesting man. Thanks again.

I said...What the heck? I swear I commented. Sorry!<br /><br />I said something like this...<br /><br />Love the post, very interesting background on those campfire tales. I also think of worst case scenario things, but I am one of those odd people who like to be scared. :) I was a bit of a daredevil as a child, and one of my favorite things to do was scare people.
