You have made my point very well. Thanks.

“I might not have said that properly, the worry is about orders I deliver.”

Contactless deliver helps the deliverer who has no idea the. status of the many people he comes in contact with. I would imagine sick people are more likely to order.

What a jerk! I hate that bear. Stupid bear. Ate the pizza that wasn't his like some kind of big fat jerk that eats other's pizza.

Did he even finish it, or just leave the crusts like some kind of jerk bear?

I mentioned this video to a customer last night, and she said she has seen a mountain lion in the neighbourhood. This is in northern Colorado.

Yeah, mountain lions aren't interested in pizza, they're interested in your Pekingese.

When my wife was still alive back in 2015, we visited our son and his wife who lives in CO and we stayed with friends for an overnight in Denver. They lived near a golf course. My wife stepped outside in their backyard in the evening and something growled at her from the other side of the privacy fence. She booked it inside and told us about it. A couple of days later, it was reported in the newspaper that a mountain lion was wandering around that neighborhood! Close call!

It's more than likely that peoples pets will be taken by bobcats or coyotes. When bobcats attack, they're like the Tasmanian Devil!

For a long time it was actually families who couldn’t go out to eat because Governor Polismoker shut everything down. Couple of restaurants went out of business during that time.

I met a woman yesterday from Deer Park, Washington (30 miles NW of Spokane). She has two Bullmastiff puppies, six months old, for livestock protection. I asked her what she was protecting her livestock from and got the usual answers — cougar and bears. But then she said “wolves.” She said she had a pack of three on the road at their place a few days ago. I was surprised to hear that the wolves were that close to Spokane.

Out here in Colorado, the ranchers have donkeys to protect their livestock. Coyotes are the biggest threats and donkeys hate coyotes and will literally kick the shiite out of them! :-)

Ranchers use donkeys to protect herds from predators

Did the bear leave a tip? Like a meadow muffin?

Finders, keepers.

Fascinating about donkeys being great herd guardians. I didn't know that. Thanks for the link, too -- interesting article.

Palo Alto, CA has a little community park called "Bol Park" which was originally a small ranch owned by Josina and Cornelis Bol. They started caring for donkeys on their property in 1934 and it became a big hit in the Barron Park neighborhood. We live nearby and our kids used to love riding our bikes over there to see the donkeys.

The last of the Bol family herd, Mickey, died in 1989, new donkey arrivals have kept the tradition going ever since. Pericles (Perry) arrived in 1997 and Miner 49-er (Niner) arrived in 1998. With Niner’s death in 2016, Jenny became the newest donkey arriving in November 2016.

“I used to get these 52” NY pizzas, boy you could cut that up and it was still YUGE”

Fifty-two inches? Across or around the outside?

Actually I’ve been told that bear meat is incredibly greasy.
Never tried it myself.

But the sealed box could have been coughed on by 20 people with raging cases of covid, which as our president has proven, is nothing to change one’s life over.

Yogi Bear is a Porch Pirate.

Are people in the Neighborhood missing their Amazon Deliveries too?

“That bear is going to be back tomorrow night also. Have a pizza ready”

It’s amazing how animals learn human schedules and set their internal clocks accordingly. My pet birds know my habits to the minute and anticipate without fail.

Interesting aside observation...

At end of video I noted a Christmas Tree...well a pine tree ... in the house w/flashing blue and white lights...So she is either really slow on the down-take or fast on the up-take...;)

She was wearing a mask, so this is not an old video...

Thanks for sharing about Bol Park! Up in the mountains not far from me is Cripple Creek, CO. It used to be a mining town. It's now a casino town that in this case, revitalized Cripple Creek! There's a herd of donkeys there that have the run of the place, who are descendants of donkeys that were used for mining and were let loose.
