Big Bend Mountain Lion

Maybe not the most interesting thing to post about (though none of this stuff is, right?), but Cold Splinters is down in Southwest Texas right now and, for the past few days, the mountain lion attack in Big Bend National Park has been the talk of the town. Well, one of the topics at least...Six year old Rivers Hobbs was attacked late Sunday as his family returned to their room from the park's main lodge. The boy's father, Jason Hobbs, pounced on THE BEAST as it clamped onto Rivers' face. Hobbs ultimately stabbed the animal in the chest with a pocketknife, causing it to flee. (Nice work, dad.) It took 17 stitches to close, and after returning home to Leander, TX, Rivers is going to have to get a series of rabies shots. See pics here.And there you have it...MP3: Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys - Deep In The Heart Of Texas
