Last month we linked to a feature story about grizzly bear sightings in Anchorage, Alaska. Actually, they weren't sightings (not that this should make you feel any better). They were electronic records of tagged and collared grizzlies wandering through the city, including one that got into a residential neighborhood not far from the motel where Debi and I stayed when we were in Alaska last year.
Well, there's a set of photos going around the internet lately of a bear getting into a bird feeder. I tracked it back to a website called geekbase.org. Love the headline.

About Me
- Pete
- Springfield (Ill.), United States
- I'm a retired English, journalism and cultural studies teacher at Springfield College in Illinois (acquired by Benedictine University and subsequently closed). I coordinate jam sessions for the "Clayville Pioneer Academy of Music" at Clayville Historic Site and the Prairieland Strings dulcimer club, and I sing in the choir and the contemporary praise team at Peace Lutheran Church in Springfield. On Hogfiddle I post links and video clips for our sessions and workshops on the mountain dulcimer (a.k.a. "hog fiddle"), as well as research notes on folklore and cultural studies, hymnody and traditional Anglo-Celtic and Scandinavian music. I also posted assignments and readings in my interdisciplinary humanities classes. The Mackerel Wrapper (now on hiatus), carried assignments and readings for my mass comm. students. I started teaching b/log when I chaired SCI-Benedictine's assessment committee, and reopened it as the privatization of public schools grew increasingly troubling and closer to home.
