When Manahawkin Puma Roamed Freely, Circa 1980; Cryogenically Preserved Germs Might Be Emerging

I TAWT I TAW A PUDDY TAT!: It was a mind-blowing night drive along Hilliard Boulevard in Manahawkin. Let’s see, it was 1980, give or take a couple/few years. It began no differently than a thousand or so Hilliard cruises I had taken in the past. But this darkness drive would be like no other, forever tattooing itself on the raw skin of my memory banks. It was the one and only time I saw the Great and Mysterious Puma of Manahawkin and Surrounding Vicinity.

I’m serious as a blown transmission here. I clearly saw a bounding cougar of the highest order.
