LOL. The bear safety class instructed everyone to talk calmly and softly to the bear... so if Kate went screaming and running away, she would have been the bear’s meal and her children would have been safe.

I was just thinking, Todd don’t say too much, but I bet he was just grinning his a$$ off when Kate and her little crew left.

Bear bean bags? I don’t think so. If there’s a bear sizing me up for his next meal I want to know the first gun I grab isn’t going to be loaded with a silly little bean bag.

Thanks for setting up the thread tonight onyx. You are a sweetheart for doing this pinging so I don't have to spend time hunting for the latest Palin threads.

Got a surprise today at church. Over the church dinner the guys were talking about hunting (they do a lot of that here)and as they walked to the fellowship hall, I asked our pianist if he had seen Sarah Palin shoot that Caribou. He said, "I sure did." Surprised me, so I said, "I love that woman." He said, "I do too." How cool is that. It was surprising that he was watching her show. Bet there are more of them out there than we realize.

Checking out time for me. Nite all.

The old joke is “I don’t have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you.”
