It seems that they want to hide the cost.

It’s very common for a preschool facility (a big business, not in a home) to require a preliminary fee for child care. It sort of seems that those businesses are doing parents a favor by accepting their children. Regular charges for child care are not enough: They want extra money just to keep your child on their records, with annual renewal fees, as if it were a great privilege for you to be on their records.

Whitcomb Family Daycare, however, is different. This home childcare, licensed by the state of California and by the City of Long Beach, has served parents for many years, giving loving care and preschool education (in addition to school-age care). No entry fee is required; no annual renewal is required.

The normal weekly charge for full time children is $150-$160, depending on age and whether or not diaper changing is required. The normal part time charge is $35 per day. Call Gladys for details: (562) 427-6027. In addition, the Whitcomb Family Daycare is open earlier than most child care centers or large facilities: as early as 6:00 a.m. or earlier if needed.

Special consideration is given to parents who are medical nurses, for their schedules differ from the normal.

It’s about a cryptozoologist who was attacked by skeptics on a cryptozoology.com forum discussion: “Jonathan Whitcomb: pterodactyl expert.” Skeptics of the live-pterodactyl idea made Whitcomb the victim.

Most biologists have believed that all species of dinosaurs and pterosaurs became extinct millions of years ago. Of course part of the problem with challenging that concept is that definitions of “dinosaur” and “pterosaur” usually include a word like “extinct.” But some cryptozoologists believe that some species of pterosaurs sill live, for eyewitnesses report seeing them.

Jonathan Whitcomb has written two nonfiction books and a scientific paper about reports of living pterosaurs (AKA “pterodactyls”). But some skeptics on an online cryptozoology forum have become upset at the idea that he is a “pterodactyl expert.”

A Different Kind of Pterodactyl Attack

In the sense of being a paleontologist, I am not a pterosaur expert; but many paleontologists do not seem to even consider the possibility that any pterosaurs are extant. “Ape man” seems to rebel against any idea involving any modern living pterosaur. But in that sense—some living pterosaurs (AKA “pterodactyls”)—I am probably one of the leading “pterodactyl experts” in the world.

Attacks on “Pterodactyl Expert”

I suggest that we all examine the eyewitness reports rather than attack those who interview eyewitnesses.

Marfa Lights Solved

Although most of the [Marfa Lights] have been explained away as simply car headlights, a significant minority of the sightings have been inexplicable. Those low-elevation flying lights [appear] only a few times each year—those are called “CE-III” by the rocket scientist James Bunnell . . . Jonathan Whitcomb, a cryptozoologist in Long Beach, California, compares those lights with the ropen lights and Cheesman lights of Papua New Guinea. Those lights are associated with sightings of large nocturnal flying creatures, unclassified by modern science, that are believed to be bioluminescent.
