Idaho – The Bears
Lisa and I visited The Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center. I wish it were called just The Grizzly Discovery Center because that would sound more grim on t-shirts, but alas…
In the morning, we saw a bear who was over 500 lbs. Wow. Glad there were a lot of obstacles between her and me. In the afternoon, we saw a bear who was 930 lbs!! I thought I’d faint.
The reason these bears reside at the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center is because they broke the bear version of the three strikes law. Each bear had wandered into people territory three times. Except one of the 500 lb bears, Spirit, who got six chances to stay away from a golf course before she was invited to leave. Better than being shot, right?
I wonder if those golfers still have nightmares.
I do realize that I am a horribly neglectful patron as I took not one photo of a wolf. The wolves were kind of cool. Big. Scraggly. But not quite as super cool as the bears. Sorry, wolves. A bear could eat me in one bite but it would take a wolf several bites.
Idaho – The Internation Dance and Music Festival
Even though they sold me a shirt that is FOUR years old (it says “20th Anniversary” and the program said “24th Anniversary” – I pick up on these things), I still think the festival was great. Be impressed. It’s hard to take a non-blurry pic in the dark with a cell phone.
