The Coffee House

[snowbear137 68]

The last wild bears I saw were in the Pocono Mountains a few years ago when I was up for a MUC-athon (land cover survey). One was wondering through the camp, having acquired a taste for dumpster goodies, the other two being a mom & cub, longing a number of yards from the interstate.

The truck started like a champ.
Deposited $180 in the bank.
Mailed off an Invicta 8926 case to NY.
Found out what was wrong with the mower. Now going to look at pennies and do my comics at ArcaMax.

Not sure how the conversation got to be about bears, but at least we aren't talking about bears pooping. In or out of the woods.


When that Charlotte Observer page loads there's an image that seems to show someone/some people running off, but it's not as noticeable in the video - which is from a tourist at the scene. The video seems to follow the bear more than the peopl off to the right so it's hard to tell if there are more people out of view running from the bear or not. The headline could be what was described by people at the scene who observed what happened more than what is shown in the video clip.

As the bear's unofficial attorney, I'd like to state that it appears the people were fleeing an approaching car as they were jaywalking in the street. My client would like to state that running into the street was a selfless act of great bravery to notify the driver of the car of the careless humans in the street that obviously were not paying attention.

No, they were running back to their cars and homes in order to get the friendly and good looking bear well deserved snacks of nuts and raisins.

Talk about poop, I'm watching some of the hearing today... hit the mute for a bit and it got interesting to notice facial expressions and gestures, maybe it's being a photographer.

Interesting how the response goes from smiling and laughing and giving a wink and taking drinks from a bottle of diet cola, to looking down when being asked direct questions. Gotta wonder why someone can't look directly back at the person asking questions and interesting that the behavior changes so much from one question to another. These hearings would be an interesting study...

An interlude from the rose garden, you know I just flipped on the news at the top of the hour and I get drawn in, better than the soaps used to be! I may have to go make a big bowl of popcorn. But nah, I think I'm going to go get something done.

The news depresses me too much; I look for the cooking shows. Not the competitions so much, but those that really try to teach you something.

 

[vintagesnaps]

Yeah, I liked those too, but it seems like the competition shows are so popular now, which can be fun but there are too many of them. They show enough reruns of cupcake wars!! lol

The second half of the summer, daytime TV really tanks. Let's see, I could watch shopping for Christmas in July, maybe it's time for holiday food treats!

At least the weekend is looking nice, meanwhile the fluff cycle of the dryer keeps calling me...

Ugh mammogram scheduled tonight. There will be much wine afterwards...

Let it go quickly, be pain free, and yield uneventful results.

Any excuse for wine works for me.

Excellent Chicken noodle soup for dinner.
Almost certainly Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla with chocolate topping in a little while.

Cracking day at the Music Hall, enjoying the singers and band but it was so hot again.

Is your client a Chicago Bear ... maybe a Boston Bruin ... a Golden Bear?
