This story is just crazy....

I thought the same thing ,Dan...I imagined the Mayans to have been a small people as many of the door and passage ways were only about 5'5 at the most. But the stones were tight as hell...makes modern masonry look sad.

When we cruised last year...I called the line to ask if "fishing gear" (knew better than to even ask if anything with 'gun' in the name was allowed) was permitted .....no go . So we just dove with the sting rays off the Grand Caymans, searched under the waves with Mayan ruins for the back drop...and learned that Jamaica is one giant ghetto.
Got some great pics,though.

A little cheaper here http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0307268934/ref=si_aps_sup_olp?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1284046716&sr=1-1&condition=used
Aaron, is the book fairly realistic?
I suppose so, Dan....however, I really don't have anything to compare it to except for other writings of guys that have been commisioned to go after man killers .And their accounts seem to be pretty close to what Corbett wrote about his experiences . I imagine ,like any other writer , he took some literary liberties with the details.
It should be noted that there is a massive preserve in India that was named after Jim Corbett.Monster, my quote was actually an excerpted re-print of a Corbett interview that was in one of my copies of Sporting Classics .

Finding a parallel to your situation in an adventure book is better than a friend feigning sympathy
I was going through a similar pain up until a week ago. Sounds like maybe a sciatic nerve problem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SciaticaWhat'd you do to deal with it ,Dan ?

Prednisone, flexoril, and endocet...a menage trois of happiness. And I feel very happy.

Two days into my trip to Japan...something didn't feel right in my back . I figured it was a combo of a long plane trip,horsing luggage, and bad beds. And so I dealt with it. Then I started feeling a tingle down my right leg . Like my ham string had some tension on it. A little pain ,but manageable.
I get home and back into the arms of my wife and bed....back still dicked up, but not enough to hold me back from light exercise, house chores, duty, and dog training. Hell last weekend I was navigating trails in the OK. Ozarks to get to where trout were holeing up.
And then came last night. About 6 hours into my shift I felt stabs of pain jetting down the backs of my legs and a jolt just to the right side of my spiine that was mating up with the pain playing with my ham string like a marionette.
Today , my girls got out of the house cause they want no part of my mood.Nothing personal , but a black cloud follows me.
Which caused me to lie in bed and read Capstick ,Hemingway, and Corbett books. And Corbett's " The Man-Eaters of Kumaon" led me to this....
"....she was an ancient beast. A very old tigress to be sure. However, as worn as her teeth were she should have little issue with consuming natural prey. As we examined her , we could smell the distinct odor of infection and soon discovered that one of her forepaws was bristling with porcupine quills. That would explain her very poor disposition."
Damn right it would.

Hurry up and get back Don
Yeah Pucho, I remember we'd say you learn who your real friends are on moving day. But these days with everyone so busy I don't know if it's so true anymore.
Oh, I think it still holds true Dan.
