Yikes....

I have been around blackies and a lot more brownies ( I lived on Admiralty Island for almost 7 years) and I will take an encounter with a brownie over a blackie. Of course I use to spank many a brownie in the rump with rubber slugs but they are not as predatory as the blackies are when it comes to humans.
