It’s late. It’s Friday. I’m just about to leave work.
Tonight, I’m ready for carryout. Anybody else up for it?
I think I’ll use the front door, though.
Note: The original video was taken down, but I found another on YouTube (go YouTube). There are several more versions if you search for “Bear steals dumpster”

OMG & that looks like a staff smoking table right by the dumpsters! Imagine if a staff member had been there.

“stealing” the dumpster? Hell no! In an effort to get out from under huge AFSCME pension obligations, the city has replaced union employees with these part-timers at the Dept of Sanitation.

Awesome! You don’t realize how powerful these guys are. We had one up here a few years back – they pass by on the way down into the hollows for the summer and are rarely seen unless they find something interesting to detain them – a neighbor put out a 50 pound bag of dog food so she could take photos of it – that bear tore up the neighborhood for a month!

Even being the nature lover that I am, I don’t want to have bears in my neighborhood! They are incredibly clever, though!

They really are – I was lucky that they don’t like dogs so they stayed away from my house. They are amazing creatures – moving that dumpster was amazing!

One more reason to have at least one dog. To keep the bears out of the garbage. Now keeping the dogs out can be an issue …

I love my wireless fence – the dogs believe they are running free – but they are safely contained 🙂

Alright … I give up … so what did you have for dinner? BTW – the video was removed by owner … thus I missed it. 😦

Oh no! The video is of a small bear who wanders into the back of a restaurant and drags away their dumpster. As my husband commented (not on the blog of course) “he anthropomorphized himself!”
Nobody else wanted carryout. I made pasta. Friday nights do not lead to elaborate dinners in my house. In fact, there are fewer and fewer nights that do … I don’t get home to cook until nearly 7 most nights!

Good news is that I saw that video on the news. What a hoot. Cheers for Friday night pasta! We had roasted chicken from Costco.

When my son was little, he LOVED that movie. And when we’d walk the dog, we’d stop at his Balou tree,
, where he’d sing the song and scratch his back against the tree. Wonderful!
