Sense of Humor

With all the new developments going up in our county, and the heat it seems that the wildlife has come out and into our small town. We have known bears have been in the higher elevations of our county as long as we have lived here. But the past couple of years they have ventured down to our area. Our police department put out a warning this morning as a black bear was spotted about 1/4 mile from our home. Here is what they said; "While we appreciate our wildlife visitors, we kindly ask residents to remember that this is not Smokey Bear’s meet-and-greet tour. Please do not feed, approach, or attempt to take selfies with the bear. For your safety: • Keep a safe distance and allow the bear plenty of space. • Do not feed the bear or leave pet food outside. • Secure garbage cans and remove any food sources that may attract wildlife. • Keep pets on a leash and supervise them while outdoors. • If you encounter the bear, remain calm, slowly back away, and do not run. The bear is simply passing through and would much rather avoid you than meet you. Let’s help keep both our residents and our furry visitor safe. And remember, if the bear starts asking for a driver’s license, it’s definitely not one of our officers." The first line cracked me up. Glad they have a good sense of humor. Do you have a lot of wildlife in your area?
