Gosh. I could have swore that you just wrote, "They are too busy feeding
on the salmon to care about humans."

What about this don't you understand, Barnard. I am not cavalier
about bears. Period. And, they *are* too busy feeding on salmon
skin/brains. Next time you go to Alaska, catch a couple of big fish,
hang them around your neck and approach a bear. Get real close. Trust
me, don't be afraid. When you get close enough, throw the salmon.
Betcha the bear goes for the salmon and not you. You like experiments
(ha!). This would be a neat one, ey? Hey, ya always got that great
big gun to protect you. d;o)
