That's funny.

Yeah, the TV monitor is very strange. Almost surreal. I don't really pay it
much attention anymore. I've had the same doc thru 6 of these things, and
he's been a little more free with the Valium each time. Knowing the history
of colon cancer and ulcerative colitis in my family, and knowing that as a
former Head I may enjoy the occassional prescribed buzz, I think he does
that as an inducement to get me back every year.

Working so far...

If you have a really good health-care plan maybe you can arrange a
bi-weekly procedure.

15 FEET? No worry? Wow. I'm not getting within 100 feet of even a
local black bear (on purpose) unless it's dead. Brown Bear? 75 yards
and heading toward me and I'm trying to outrun my friends. Probably
successfully : -) bruce h

I'll load some pictures and post them. You tell me how close I was. I
don't mean to sound cavalier, Bruce, but they are a common occurance
in parts of Alaska, and are very accustomed to seeing/smelling/hearing
humans.

I'm sorry, but unless you were floating past on a boat I don't believe
you.

I've been within maybe 50 feet of a brown in Alaska and we were both
very uncomfortable.

Anyone ever have to use it? Does it actually work?
Seems to me that would really ****-off a bear.

I'm on WiFi in a W.Yellowstone bar so I don't have time to read all the
replies,

Here is mine ...

after several summers here I finally bought some bear spray ... like all
insurance, I hope to never use it. I DO feel better having it in places
known for bears. That feeling better can't be allowed to replace caution,
of course.

I bought it after a half dozen LOCALs told me that they carry it and hearing
a couple of the stories about why. I've had numerous Black Bear
meetings in the Sierras and never felt the need, but Grizzly tracks are
pretty impressive G

Actually more people have been killed by blacks, I'm told. The spray also
works on Moose and Moose can be plain old mean.

There is no guarantee that the bear will stop an attack if you spray him,
and there is none that you will be able to get the spray out fast enough and
use it. But there are numerous cases of bears that ran off after being
sprayed and Craig Matthews tells me some Park bears turn and leave at the
sight of the canister, they have been there, done that, and don't want
another taste of the same.

No technology is worth as much as common sense ... travel with care where
you might find a bear

"Moose spray" just doesn't have the same ring to it. :-)

I understand that it also works on subpoena servers and repo men.

BTW, I heard something funny on the radio, on the NPR show "Wait, Wait,
Don't Tell Me." A study found that Duct Tape is the most effective
remedy for getting rid of warts -- 85% effective, better than freezing
with liquid nitrogen:

On the other hand, it isn't worth **** for repairing ducts:

I guess they didn't want to call it Wart Tape.
