It's not any cheaper to operate. The ground clearance isn't any better, and it's not as easy to get a ful...

Everyone I've contacted says to get an exterminator to kill them That's just wrong, considering the sad state bee populations are in in the world today. In NJ there are legal restrictions on bee control. Unless they're carpenter bees or wasps, you can't just exterminate them. We successfully had be...

I saw him enjoying it all last week in Grand Gulch.

It was actually headed away from the Dunkin Donuts (about 150 yards away), so maybe it had already eaten. Of course every bear has always already just eaten, just as every bear is always ready for dinner.

I almost hit a bear on the way home from work tonight. I'm glad the guy behind me wasn't following too close, because I really slammed on the breaks. It was crossing near an intersection of two busy 4-lane county highways. Was he carrying a red crossing flag? ;) Jersey bears have no respect for aut...
