Personally I always believed in monsters and everything of fairy-tale and fanciful episodic yarn. Why not ? What was the sense-in not believing ? Why live in a totally mundane machine-world limited to "much ado about nothing", which means only an impersonal hostile, sometime angry neighbor - when anything could be anything ? Ah - the joy of hate. If the fairy world exists, you fight monsters, kill demons, slay dragons, steal gold and kill the Loch Ness Monster. I do not hate monsters. It is what we do. Doesn't cost anything. Nada. We engage them and there is no downside and there is no pain and pillage. What's to hate ? Friendly ghosts.

The weather was better on my jaunt along the Lock Ness. I stopped and talked to the people on the Loch Ness investigation team. There are some people from the Chicago University on it. They have cameras mounted on trucks and apparatus along the shore road. It seems they have had some success in photographing the monster affectionately nick-named Nessie.

I went into the trailer headquarters set up next to the pier. They had photographs that they had taken hung on the walls, and maybe reproductions that some others had taken, especially the first one starting it all off, reputedly showing or indicating the monster as an Indistinct black something or other like a periscope, leaving a wake on the surface of perfectly calm flat placid water. Apparently the wind is a problem they told me. They cannot pick up wakes in choppy water. And that's what they looked for - wakes. Where is that wake coming from ? They kept track of the sources of all the wakes.

Think they had an underwater miniature sub searching the depths and the Loch was very deep. Any anomaly was great excitement and was probably like looking for gold and a big strike.
