Oh! Goodness - do I run to help her or do I close the door first?
Absolutely 100% correct...I’m so tired of people who come to visit who can’t have a conversation without their phone. Mention a news story and they are going to “fact check” it before continuing a conversation.
Thats why i look the door and turn music up
See my post #24 for the rest of the story. The Siberian tiger attacks woman in drive through nature preserve. Location China.
Yeah, my two grandsons know to look at their parents’ phones, in part, because they can talk with Grandpa and Grandma at the push of a button. They are 4 years and 18 months old.
They also know they are surveilled at night when they go to bed.
It’s creepy to me, too.
And those brilliant engineers and doctors are brought here to provide us the benefit of their superior intellect.
And now, for the most ironic statement of the day:
“In India, authorities are now worried about another potential danger spot: massive gatherings.”
Climate change?
They try to do the same with bison in Yellowstone. Bison are sometimes found in towns near Yellowstone National Park, especially in West Yellowstone, Montana, and Mammoth, Wyoming, where they can wander into residential areas, cause traffic jams, and even visit local businesses for a place to graze or scratch themselves. People are told to give them a wide birth but sometimes some idiot will try to get a closeup selfie with one. And when an animal with horns weighing up to 2,000 pounds and standing 6 feet tall at the shoulder who can run up to 35 miles per hour, faster than a man, gets excited (pissed), it’s not a good idea to wanna be Jack Hanna and be an ambassador for animals that just want to be left alone. Just don’t give them an excuse to get excited.

Here in Wyoming it’s practically a hobby, gathering and sharing videos of all the stupid things tourists do in Yellowstone.
Almost as bad as a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac.
Whoa, nice air time on the top one. With a better landing it would have been a 10.
They have more big, fierce, wild animals there, too. We just got bison, grizzly bears, and an occasional puma.
I think that poor girl may have landed okay, but she was young enough where they are made of elastic material anyway!
Stupid parents...
But it was impressive to watch!
We have moose and squirrel, too.
Yes, forgot about moose. If you get tossed and trampled by a squirrel while taking a selfie with it, well, I don’t know what to say.
