NOPE. TOO CLOSE.
@cooperlost Camping in back country of Alaska, I walked down to the beach, sat down to watch the sunset. Looked to my left and this beautiful brown bear and her 3 cubs were walking right up to me. I didn’t want to startle her but I made sure she knew I was there and let her walk right by me. One of the cubs locked in on my shoe as it walked past, clearly wanting to play with it so I pulled my leg back and they carried on their way down the beach. Such an insane encounter. I love these animals. (I have over 10 years of bear guiding experience. All bears can be dangerous, never put yourself in a situation like this unless you’re with a professional bear guide)
Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

People are still calling for ABC to recast The Golden Bachelor after Mel Owens’ gross comments about cutting all women over the age of 60. SIR, DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SIGNED UP FOR?
And Just Like That … had a deep cut Sex & the City easter egg in this most recent episode.
Oh no, feel better Dick Van Dyke!

Cancellations
- Doctor Odyssey has MAYBE been canceled at ABC after one season. It’s a little vague: it’s being widely reported that the show has been canceled, but all that I see that has happened is that the actors have been released from their contracts, and that it has not been formally canceled. Ryan Murphy, the producer of the series, is weighing options, and if they decide to bring the show back, either on ABC or Hulu, they will make new deals with the cast. Working against the series being renewed is that it was hit by a sexual harassment suit in recent months, and it was reportedly comparatively expensive to produce. So CANCELED! Except maybe not? (But probably.)
