In light of the rising frequency of human contacts with bears, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game is advising hikers, hunters, and fishermen to take extra precautions and be alert for bears while in the field, particularly grizzly bears.
They advise that people wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle bears that aren't expecting them. They also advise people to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a bear. It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear activity.
People in the Alaskan wilderness should learn to recognize the difference between black bear excrement and grizzly bear excrement. Black bear excrement is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear excrement, on the other hand, has little bells in it and smells like pepper spray.
Abu Najma,
The Japanese Corporation is very true. I once worked on a project with a Japanese company. They were so perfect it made my team work harder to keep our team as perfect as their team.
And they're the most polite people I've ever met in my life.
Here's something I wrote a while back; I actually had an encounter with grizzlies while hiking many years ago. Scary for all of us, but the bears seemed pretty casual about it (in Grand Teton Park):
Bear mace; one of those 'great' ideas that either works or doesn't.
If it doesn't, it's good that they put flourescent dye in it; at least it'll help identify where all the intestines are hanging in the trees.
And if it *does* work, would you want to be the next guy who that bear runs across? 'Oh, there's one of those hairless apes who tore the crud out my nose last time!' GGRRRRRRR!!!.....AAARRGGGH!!!!!
Very good!
An old joke from the Soviet Union:
One day, at last, socialism came to the Sahara Desert.
Fifty years later, there was a shortage of sand.
I made up this cow joke years ago, but it probably requires too much knowledge of English:
The US tax laws have made it profitable for wealthy people to invest in cattle ranching, even if they knew nothing about it and are not any good at it. A wealthy lawyer decided to try it, so he bought a ranch and a herd of cows to raise on the ranch. He and his cowboys were surprised to hear the lawyer's cows calling, "MOOOOT. MOOOOOT. MOOOOOT."
Note: In English, we usually write the call of a cow as "Moo." The word, "moot," is a legal term, in English.
Cow decorative motifs were popular a few years ago. They always were black spots on a white, which is the pattern of the Holstein breed of cows. A lady, who was a friend of mine, adopted this fashion. I thought it funny that she had a tea kettle with the cow pattern on it. The manufacturer called the tea kettle, "The Holsteam."
