"Oh. Backordered? Estimated to ship August 13th...."

A TikTok moment.
@mazbal75 This is the most soothing terrifying experience ever. Birds chirping, jazz melodies playing ... no wonder why the bear stopped by and I'm just glad your husband listens to you!🤗🤗🤗🤣👍👍 #Bear ♬ original sound - Masbal75

August 13th? I can bearly wait.

Wow, the obliviousness of the Husband (I'm assuming because I have a theory that when men get married their ability to notice things in general dramatically goes down,) is almost comedy sketch levels. The soft Jazz background music is perfect for the meandering bear too. Also the wife has a great response from practicality terms. She doesn't have the, Oh I've seen the Jungle Book and Bears are Friend-shaped lovable cuties response. She is appropriately worried about a large carnivorous-capable animal wandering nearby and quickly exits the area, while avoiding the other end of the spectrum of becoming overly frightened and screaming.

B/O: back order, black order, black odor h/t NAACP... Barack Obama?

The bear is wondering what the hassle is about. We've had a brown bear walk by us behind our deck.

Have a mama and cubs coming by over night on occasion. Get into our trash. I wouldn't go outside when I hear them but they sure are cute.

Down here in the SoCal mtns we don't have bears breaking into homes like the Tahoe bears do. That whole area up there is filled with privileged people and privileged bears.

Some people have no awareness of their surroundings. None at all. He could have been breakfast and would not have even noticed until it was time for his pills.

Cats are amazing. They really are. I love dogs, but cats are amazing.

Bear's delivery was on time but the damned porch pirates stole it.

What's the problem ? Meat in the freezer and a rug on the floor.

I like how she didn't start the conversation by saying, "Get in the house fast! There's a bear out here!"

We live just off "Bear Alley" US19 through the Ocal National Forest in north central Florida. Yogi, Boo Boo and Cindy and their brethren are everywhere down here. We have two acres of Live Oak forest along the St Johns River and it's bear central around these parts ever of a night.

Shows you how quiet they can be upon approach.

This is from our side yard the other night. The mama bear knocks over the trash and fun ensues. That night we also had 2 coyotes visit that trash later, then 2 skunks. A raven came by early in the morning to spread it all out.

Last week another bear found a old hardened box of C&H sugar in our trash and it might have been the happiest bear I've seen, stuck around for about 20 minutes, our very own sugar bear.

Didn't start? She gave no indication at all until he was already at the door and then it was "Look right there." in a calm voice as she entered.

The mountainside 'burbs' in Southern California are starting to get more of this too: Bear break-ins: Animal enters 5 different homes in Sierra Madre

Paddy O- nice soundtracking!

I like the way she just scooped up the cat and headed in, and also the way Hubby obediently followed, without question or objection. That's the years of mall training, there. When the bear barges in, Marge is Large and In Charge.

Mark your calendars; August will be a bear market.

i must say, i'm confused!
They interviewed EVERY SINGLE WOMAN ON THE PLANET EARTH.. AND EVERY SINGLE ONE SAID:
They'd RATHER meet a bear, than a man...

This woman.. i'm Confused? Did she SUDDENLY realize she'd been sitting next to a man (most of her life),
and got up and split.. Which Just Happened to be when the bear was coming over to protect her??

WE WERE TOLD that bears are HARMLESS.. and that The True Danger was MEN!!! (with penises)
So, i'm confused..
Does it turn out..
That meeting a bear is NOT the wonderful experience EVERY SINGLE WOMAN ON EARTH said it was?
Or is this woman an out-layer?

I had a dog, a smallish springer spaniel, who squeezed himself out of a large collapsible crate with no visible gaps between the panels. That was the last time he was in a crate.
