I have often thought about the strategy of the owners of the game farm....they always have tons of bread out, where you buy the tickets to get into the game farm.....most people, who dont know enough to bring their own stuff, wind up buying bread from the owners...I suspect, on a good day, what with old bread, and other treats that people might bring, many of those animals get their nutritional fill from the visitors, thus cutting down on the owners food expense, and putting more money into his pocket...
All the bears at this farm, are not caged, they each have their own individual plot of land, which is surrounded by fences, which are low enough to allow people to throw bread into the bears compound...I think the bears are behind an electrified fence, and they seem to know it, as I have never seen one get too near to the fence...but when the bears see cars coming, they sit up and beg, wanting that bread....
Gosh, I have not been up to that game farm for many years now....actually have not been up to the Peninsula in a few years....another place for BigDom and I go return to....and then we might as well go up to Olympic Natl Park, and roam among the Olympic mountains....
There is so much to see here, so little time...
BigDom reminded me today, that in 2yrs, he is going off the ODL(overtime desired list) at work, and will work his last 6months at the post office, by working just 8hrs a day, instead of his current routine now, of 10 and 11 hours a day...he wants to ease into his retirement...

I would think that in two years, with all his accumulated sick time, he wouldn't even have to show up for the last six months or so.
Continuing good thoughts for y'alls return to chair-breaking good health. ;-)
