#1 And for my Piled Higher and Deeper I'm going to write my thesis on the workings of the digestive system of Bears from the inside.

#2 Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes you drink too much bÃdka and the bear eats you.

#3 but cases of attacks on man by beasts of prey are extremely rare.

Probably because most humans are smart enough to stay away.

#4 I had a good friend of mine, Michio Hoshino, of Fairbanks killed at his camp in Kamchatka some years ago. Michio knew bears as well as any expert. He kept his distance (unlike our recently departed Malibu friend) and did some amazing photography.

If I am camping in the wilds up here, I carry a shotgun and have a good bear dog around. Bear attacks do not happen real often, but when they do, they are serious. They are like lightning or mushrooms, even the experts get done in if they let their guard down.

#5 lightning? Oh I get it, bears never strike twice. First time is generally fatal. but mushrooms?

#6 There are few mushroom experts that live to old age, heh heh.

The more you learn about about lightning, the worse off you are...knowledge is fear. LOL!
