I don't worry about bears here in middle TN, and I didnt' want to high jack the other threads that are out right now. However I did want to make sure everyone knew how to tell the difference between a black bear and a grizzly bear.

All you have to do is climb a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you its a black bear. If the bear knocks the tree down and then eats you, it is a grizzly bear.

I know, I know, it's an old joke and a bad one. But with all the snow and ice around here I guess I'm trying to fend off the shack nasties and couldn't think of anything to say worth saying. Which of course means I should keep my big mouth, er keyboard, quiet.
