The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for June 25, 2021

Huh. Pretty comfortable wild.

Only a poor very desperately hungry bear.

He was looking for junk food.

here in hokkaido they ‘exterminate’ bears (using the direct translation for 熊を駆除する) – the excuse always given for not tranquilizing and relocating them is ‘who knows how much more damage they might do before the drug kicks in.’

which leads me to ask, how difficult would it be to up the dose? instead of killing another bear…

Was he playing darts at the bar….Oh….Wait.

What kind of bear? Pretty any and every bear that gets a whiff of any garbage can anywhere I’d guess.

He was just looking for aluminum to recycle

“Picanic baskets may be delicious on the lips, but they’re a lifetime on the hips.”

Timely. A raccoon or something got into our green bin last night. Seems like the lock wasn’t fully engaged. Nice mess!

He learned this from reading The Grizzwells.

Yeah, like you don’t.

No me? I just got back from getting the Covid vaccine, why?

Groggy would have looked better. I’m pretty sure the darts get removed immediately. For one thing, they are reusable. :)

Grin and bear (bare) it.

So they dart the bear, load him into a helicopter, and drop him off in the woods. Next morning the bear wakes up hung over and goes around telling all his friends where they can go to get free drugs and a helicopter ride.
