Bill Adair, owner of Bullwinkle's Pizza Parlor, remained hospitalized
Tuesday in Johannesburg, South Africa, and is recovering from a gunshot
wound that damaged at least a tendon in his upper calf, said Emmett
Marlow, manager of the restaurant.

Adair is expected to be flown to a Seattle hospital today for further treatment, Marlow said.

Adair and his friend, Dr. David Miller, had been hunting for leopard in Zimbabwe when one of the cats pounced on their guide.

"The leopard circled back on
them and attacked the guide," Marlow said Adair told him over satellite
phone. Adair then went to help the guide and the leopard turned on him.

"He started screaming at Dr. Miller to shoot it," Marlow said.

Miller aimed and hit the
leopard, but the bullet from the high-powered rifle passed through the
cat and struck Adair in the calf.

The guide, whose arm was injured, also tried to shoot the leopard, Marlow said. Eventually the cat was killed.

Miller, a surgeon, treated
Adair's wound in the field before he was transported to a hospital. The
incident occurred either May 21 or 22.

Marlow said he last spoke with Adair early Tuesday, mostly about business.

"He sounded pretty good. They sent some pictures up to our bookkeeper," he said. "I didn't know leopards got that big."

Leopards are known to be the
most elusive of the big cats and, unlike species such as lions, are
solitary creatures. They vary in size from 60 to 150 pounds, with males
being larger.

From this article it sounds like he'll be just fine. Otherwise I wouldn't make light of it…I'm sure this will be the talk of the town today, so we'll hear more and see how he's doing…..
Bill is a good guy, that's who we worked for when we worked at Bullwinkle's.
And he used to Zak to sell his house….

And Emmett, I just adore Emmett. I have known him a million years and he always seems to show up in my life when I need him the most. When I was figuring out who the hell I wanted, once and for all…..kirk or zak, Emmett was there. He really gave me sound advice. When Zak and I were all messed up when we moved back to Alaska, Emmett was there for me. He even made me my Bundy Stick! LOL
I love Emmett. Very cool guy that has helped me through a lot of shit….

I think I want to go to South Africa….
I'm not sure yet.
I'm not a travel abroad person, have no desire too, AT ALL.
But South Africa sounds interesting and Italy..I've just always wanted to go there. It sounds romantic.
but that's it. otherwise I like the good ol' USA and there's quite enough here that I haven't seen yet. I don't need to be carting my ass to other continents….

I do, however..need to cart my ass into the bedroom to get dressed…..
