We now have black bears in the eastern side of Oklahoma County. That's crazy, they've never been seen here before, no one is sure why they are migrating.

The crazy thing, and to be expected, is they're being hit by vehicles. You thought hitting a deer is bad, hitting a black bear is really bad. The local news showed a pic of a black bear on the side of I-40 a few days ago that had been smacked by a Semi truck.

In Colorado they hit entire herds of elk. You think a single black bear is bad. I knew a guy who was driving his Grand Cherokee down the rural road and a turkey flew up. Totaled his ride! I've heard it said that hitting a deer is bad. But hitting a hog is like hitting a culvert. And the worst of it is hitting a horse or moose. The car takes the legs out and the 1000# body slides back the hood and lands in the front seat. The solution, sleep at night, drive in daylight.

The noon day news just reported that there are now,
wait for it
TWO bears in the bean fields

TWO Bears??!! They're multiplying!!

Time for you to head to the tornado shelter!!

How unbearable!

It kinda makes me wonder if there are adult people here in the fly over states that have
never seen a real live bear
out side ?

By golly, one of the bears did get across the
Mississippi River

Just 25 minutes from me,
so I guess I better be scoping out the field behind the apt.

Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica!

We've had a bunch of sightings areound here. Young roving males, mostly.

10:00 news just reported that this same bear has been caught just a few miles from I -70,
Down by
St. Louis, No.

He was caught and later released. He ended up stuck inside the perimeter fencing of the GM plant (or neighboring business). Hundreds of people showed up to gawk at him, and between that and his inability to find his way out he was getting irritated.

They didn’t say where they dropped him off, but I’m assuming a bit further south to avoid further interstate crossings.

Bears and rabbits.

They seem to 'stick' together.

Maybe just haul his hairy butt down to Flippin,Ark and
call it a day.

Give him a break.

Identity theft is not a joke, Jim! Millions of people suffer every year!!

I forget from the waiver...what does "bear in the beanfield* mean when it comes from bendable, again? Am I going to need a gas mask or a fallout shelter? Just enough TP to get to November?

Next thing you know, there’s going to be a bear in the air.

I'm going with his Grand Cherokee wasn't worth much to begin with. While traveling 60mph on my Kawasaki ZX-9R, I hit a turkey. It knocked of the rear view mirror on one side and my neck and shoulder were sore for a few days. The turkey didn't make it.

It must be nice to live in a place where a bear or two sighting in a bean field makes the local news. Did Aunt Edna's apple pie win the blue ribbon at the county fair again?

Don't worry, there's not enough numbers in that post for it to be a Bendabalian secret code.

No autographs, please!
