The Coffee House

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.

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

My client questions the need for this level of distinction and thinks it could lead to stereotypes.

Is he being tried by a jury of his bears?

No, plea beargain.

OK, that's it for me.

This morning, when Gary and company started our morning walk, a flock of 20 green parrots squawked and flew overhead. (Gary took a head count.) It was all very odd.

Morning all, had our early walk as it is going to be another hot day today, just wish it would cool day as I totally hate it now.

Well batteries are all charged up spare cards in the bag, so just having a brew then off out for a bit.

We had to retreat from the woods yesterday afternoon because my baby boy was running a high fever, and my wife (reasonably) wanted to be home.

So we have a couple days where we have nothing planned, which is kind of nice other than the fact that he isn't feeling well.

My baby girl also turned 3 last week.

Truck started fine and the AC is rocking!
PO. Box at the front of the neighborhood and then home.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. 75F presently and it feels like 75F, but it should warm up to the upper 80's. Soooo, the heatwave is breaking. This last wave even hit the beaches hard. Typically, the beach is a good ten degrees cooler than inland, but not with this wave. The ugly part is that many/most who live at the beach (and a few miles inland) don't have A/C. When I lived close to the beach on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, we had a house built in the last 1930's and no central HVAC. Every week in late August, when the beach heated up, we'd all sleep huddled up in the living room where there was a window shaker A/C unit. We looked like refugees, sleeping bags and pillows scattered across the floor, every nigt scrambling to get close to the window unit. But, that was a great house, rounded doorways, multi-tiered ceilings, built in bookshelves and china cabinets. Every room had a different texture of plaster. Loved that house.

Slow day in the south, in the headlines here. Hogs running wild in Lipscomb, AL Myself I don't really see the problem, I see meat in the freezer, and BBQ in the future, problem solved.

We lived in an old house growing up (rented the 2nd floor apts in a Mansard style 3 family in the city), it had beautiful architectural features like built ins, stained glass, transom windows over interior doorways, a beautiful interior staircase and large pantry off the kitchen. We also had the one ac that we all had to share during heatwaves.

The house is still there, turned into condos years ago. I’m sure they’re beautifully restored. It’s a very trendy area now. If I could afford it, I’d look to move to that area again when Princess finishes school but that part of Cambridge is no longer affordable for average families.

Gary just finished scrambling Miss Maggie some eggs for her breakfast.

Man, that headline is such a softball ... but Gary shall exercise restraint.

Just got in from a long day at the music hall, took a few shots, filled 4 64GB cards so might be busy on the editing but totally loved it.

 

[davidharmier60]

Afternoon y'all. I talked to Larry the lawnmower man and we can get a wheel from him. The left front on the mower has been rigged but it's plum wallerd out.
Reminds me to go out and get it off and into my truck for after work tomorrow.

Morning all, well what a horrible very hot and humid night it was last night. Susie and I have had our very early morning walk before the sun gets too hot, think a lot of folk are fed up up with this heat now.
