Check out the story of Travis Walton, a lumberjack who was abducted right in front of members of his work crew when returning home after a day of logging when they encountered a UFO right off the road they were traveling

Complete fraud.

I own a cabin in Heber, AZ, near where the incident (allegedly) happened, and last summer myself, my girlfriend and another couple were in a bar with just us and a couple of locals talking about guns and the Walton incident. An old-timer was eavesdropping and said "I've known Travis for years and if you want I can call him and he will be here in 20 minutes. He knows I know he's full of shite about the UFO thing but we are friends anyways." I wish we would have taken him up on his offer, although I obviously believe he's a phony.

This is the phone booth in Heber where Walton reportedly called for help after the incident and is a local tourist attraction.

I think shoulder season is the best time to visit. I went last year two days after Labor Day for a week and the weather was perfect and the crowds (families) had pretty much cleared out.

Now ask (former Patriots QB) Tom Brady this question.

I can't recall the comedian but he observed that if Tom Brady and Elvis can't trust their wives with their trainers (Elvis' wife cheated with her karate instructor) what hope is there for us lesser men!

That was quite a fracas! :lol:

When I was in school at University of Wisconsin (early 80's) they played on campus a couple of times a year. The band originated in nearby Rockford, IL. The Violent Femmes were another popular band who always played on campus and were from Milwaukee. Loved them both.

EDIT: Some music trivia; Steve Miller (also from Rockford, IL) and Boz Scaggs were college roommates in Madison.

Or Frank Calibrese Jr. who testified against his own father and sent him away for life while he got a slap on the wrist for his testimony. He was tired of the life and trying to go legit and his own dad was shaking him and his partner down for protection money and the old man trying to take over the business. With dads like that, you don't need enemies.

A few years back there was a guy who worked out at my gym here in Scottsdale (he was also a gym employee) who I would talk to quite a bit. Interesting guy from Chicago who shared with me that he had MS and we talked about working out, both of us being from the Midwest, etc. One night I'm watching A&E and I see him being interviewed regarding being in the Chicago mob and wearing a wire to entrap his father in prison. His dad apparently was one of the men who murdered Anthony Spilotro, the mobster depicted by Joe Pesci in 'Casino'. Saw him in the gym the next day and told him I saw the show and he was pretty forthcoming about his life in the mob. I asked why he wasn't in the WPP and he stated he didn't want to live his life looking over his shoulder. He also stated he was writing a book and hoped to have it made into a movie. I haven't seen him in a few years and wondered whatever happened to him. Also saw Sammy "the Bull" Gravano quite a bit working out at my gym in the 90's when he was supposed to be in the WPP but it was the worst-kept secret in town. Those mobsters sure do love then some fitness!
