On the Fourth: Grin and bear it

Yikes! (Photo by Pierre5018)

Planning on taking a dip in the pool, then topping this off with a margarita?

Last Friday, Mark Hough was thinking these same thoughts when he realized a bear had beaten him to it. The grizzly intruder had mistaken Hough’s Jacuzzi for a rushing stream, and availed himself of this opportunity to cool off. Sniffing Hough’s half-finished margarita, “Yogi” then lumbered over, knocked it down and licked it up.

Hough had meanwhile hightailed it into the house (wouldn’t you?) and grabbed a video camera. CBS News was happy to broadcast said images of California comforts.

So beware of bear. As you’re sipping a fifth on the Fourth, you might just notice an uninvited sixth.

He took it on the cheek

A golden-retriever puppy was out for a morning walk with his beloved human when he noticed a rattler in their path.

Determined to thwart this danger, the puppy ran up ahead. The rattler, sensing its own brand of danger, bit the puppy’s cheek.

Paula Godwin has since asked for healing prayers. After all, puppy Todd had potentially sacrificed his life for her own. More than 1,000 replies came through Godwin’s Facebook site.

Godwin recently reported the following: Todd’s doing so well he is a wonder to me how he is healing.

Rabbit Ride

Let’s face it, some of us are quite tired of expensive, uncomfortable, inconvenient, and/or dangerous urban transportation.

That’s where the Jack Rabbit comes into play. Looking like a cross between a mini-bicycle and a mini-scooter, this new travel companion could be a commuter’s dream.

Just four-feet long, the Jack Rabbit can go up to 13 miles on a single electric charge. Its “strong aluminum monocoque frame

handles riders up to 240 pounds,” and its sturdy tires provide stability and traction in speeds up to 18 miles per hour.
