    Sad Brailer One time there were One time there were 64 parks.

    One time there were 933 manatees. Hmmm I visited that state park this year and saw a lot of those sea cows. I also lost Jewel’s mouse while I was at that park so my sister stopped at a pet store so I could buy another one.

    May the Lord be with you as He is with me.

    With 933 manatees, Blue Spring is probably very brown.

    Troy is one of our smart Canadians cuz he can recognize a grizzly and not confuse it with a brown bear. In fact, he lectured a bunch of visitors to the provincial park about the differences. Here is the rest of the story:~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

    Troy, a Canadian park ranger is giving some ramblers a warning about bears:

    “Brown bears are usually harmless. They avoid contact with humans so we suggest you attach small bells to your rucksacks and give the bears time to get out of your way. However, grizzly bears are extremely dangerous. If you see any grizzly bear droppings leave the area immediately.”

    “So how do we know if they’re grizzly bear droppings?” asks one of the ramblers.

    “It’s easy,” replies the Troy. “They’re full of small bells.”

    Are those European National Parks or British National Parks? They are certainly well worth a visit… Brad and his dog would certainly enjoyed their trip over here…

    Hiking in Alaska with a friend, we spotted a huge brown bear. Its head was the size of a basketball, it’s ears the size of grapefruits. She had the sense to ring the bell and scare it away. All I could think of were three words, “wide angle lens”

    No mention of surviving a Grizzly Bear attack, though.
