Oh, what a beautiful morning...no rain, bright sun, gonna hit 80 so they say. Hope all enjoy the day, however you spend it. I will be hearing the fireworks for sure, tho all the trees get in the way of seeing anything.
That little bear cub yesterday.......several years ago, in town, a mama had shagged her cub up a tree just on the outskirts of town. Those cubs stay up there as they are trained to do, unless hunger makes them come down, so this one was up there over a day. When it came down at last, it just meandered down the street, crossed a busy 4 lane state highway, kept going straight to the supermarket. Well, with automatic door openers, that bear was inside in seconds, walked straight into the liquor dept. Well, those employees got the customers out, and brought down the steel gating they use at night when closed up.
Called the cops, DNR, while the grocery store got evacuated. The store cameras revealed the travels of that little bear. Up and down a few aisles, looking around at the bottles, then found the doors to the big cooler in the back, in he goes, walks around just a bit, then climbs up a couple empty shelves and goes to sleep right under the Hamm's beer sign. It was hysterical.
Yes the DNR came, took him to the forest several miles away, released him, but it was the talk of the town for weeks. And of course the store took advantage, I think they still sell sweatshirts & T shirts featuring the visit of the bear. LOL Too funny about the Hamm's beer sign (they always feature bears in them)
