The street collapse is from a few years ago in Baltimore. During heavy rain the side of the road eroded and fell onto train tracks below.
The thing about bears climbing trees is that they won't do it if you are in the tree above them. Or so I have been told. I have never tested it.
The best protection against bears is to hike with a slow, fat friend.
So that's why I get asked to go on so many hikes.

Clark, don't test it...

.....and if you are the sentimental kind, maybe not a good friend.
Adult grizzly bears can't. or won't, climb trees. Black bears will.
Very old joke. How can you tell whether the bear that is chasing you is a black bear or a grizzly?
Answer: Climb a tree. If it’s a black bear it will climb up after you catch you and eat you. If it’s a grizzly it will knock the tree down and catch you and eat you.
Meanwhile, in Russia: another bear/human tree encounter.
This selection was stronger than the last.
I'd do Erin.
Not nice, Darrell. She doesn’t even know you and she has a boyfriend.
Darrell maybe you could trick Erin into thinking you were her boyfriend. “I’m right here in front of you”
So the pitch for this app was something like, ‘so there’s a huge untapped audience who are just too impatient or too untalented to become famous on twitter or instagram...’
Good on them...
My husband claims that I have a cloak of invisibility that descends on me in public places. He loses me all the time.
Kirk, that really is an “only in Russia” moment. The guy filming not only does nothing the help the guy in the tree, he walks half-way over to it, then gets bored and starts looking at other stuff.

That or something like it happens to all of us—when we don’t quickly see what we’re looking for, we shift strategies to do a broad scan that let’s us take in much more of the scene, but misses the details that would reveal what is right in front of us.
You’ve probably seen video of that test where subjects are supposed to count the number of times a group of people pass a basketball between them and about half don’t notice the gorilla that moves in and about the players. This is a very similar phenomenon.
Bears won’t attack if you are wearing a bear suit. Unless you are wearing strong perfume, in which case they will. But all you have to do is a high pitched badger squeal and you’ll be fine.
I am enjoying these videos too, Ann.
By the way, that is a grizzly that's pursuing the Russian up the tree.
