Flip. Not nice at all. Be careful & coddle yourself. Hopes & prayers winging your way

Edited to correct a tripe writing problem...
Fed my Great Nephew (what's his name) some cheese.
Good words, thank you.
I want to go back to bed. I don't want to know anything new right now.
I want to go back to bed too.

Ribbit! Ribbit!
(Bedbugs) *Slurp! Slurp!*
I only encountered bedbugs once. Cheap motel in Denver, Colorado. Never again! I'll pay the price of luxury, or at least clean comfort, or sleep in the car. I was so naive that I had never even heard of bedbugs before that encounter.
This is a typical day in the I Heard What Bit Me Complaint Thread.
Mozzies, the size of Helicopters and need iron traps to catch them... Only in Alaska, where everything is bigger & better than anywhere else in the US or the rest of the planet (obviously), I was told by residents when I visited.
The mozzies in Alaska were bad, but easily repelled by Jungle Formula. What I found bit & hurt were Black Fly in Ontario north of Lake Superior. A dose of Jungle formula that repelled mozzies for 8 hours worked for barely an hour on Black Fly. Evil little things, but because the bite hurt so much, you could usually notice and swat the perpertrator.
Regards,

I have always assumed, if I go to Alaska, Kodiak bears would be the biggest concern with nippy weather being a distant second.
I spent around 10 days in Alaska in a tent in 1987, moving around by motorcycle. I came across a bear while on one of the bus tours into the Denali National Park. Then I was in the bus, and the grizzly bear was outside looking for a Marmot. 5 days before that, before any of the decking was built, I visited here, where a black bear cub came within 15ft of me as I was standing at the edge of the stream and it caught a salmon - utterly sublime moment. Never saw a Kodiak bear.
Regards,
Richard
A few years ago, while vacationing in NH, I went out (from our timeshare unit) to the car to get something. It was early evening. I didn't bring my phone. When I was about to come back from the car, there was a commontion. There were black bears in and around a tree right next to the building. People were all around, shining lights and making a commotion. Two cubs and one big bear. I figured it was a momma and her cubs. I got back into the car and waited. Couldn't call the frong desk, because I didn't bring my phone. Finally, a park ranger came by and shued the people away and the bears left. I didn't want to get mauled by a black bear mama thinking her cubs were in danger! My wife wondered why I was gone for so long (it was about a half hour, I think). In the woods, black bears normally keep away from people. We've been going up there (the White Mountains area) for decades and never saw one during any of our hikes in the mountains.
There are black bears around here (far Western NY State, in the boonies). I've seen tracks in the snow down my driveway. And a few years ago, when I still had my car, I was driving the back roads, taking a shortcut, to home, and had to stop for a few minutes while a momma bear and three cubs crossed the road. One of the cubs was being hesitant, and the momma had to come back and give him a swat to get him to cross.
I want to go to bed!
Last year, on the news, I saw a story and video of a black bear in my city, on the other side. I'm in East Taunton, MA (the bear was in Taunton). No mountains here. It was only a few blocks from the city's only hostpital, and the business center (downtown). I was quite surprised.
I live very near the Cherokee National Forest.
And the Great Smokey Mountains National Park.
So, black bears. Yup. Got 'em. They wander around some.
They taste good too.
