I'm going thru an ECF surfing phase. Last week I played Everquest 2 every day for hours and next week who knows what I'll be in the mood to use my time on. Other than helping with a 2nd grade science project that has to be ready by Thursday morning. Trying to find an undisturbed place to grow crystals in a house with 4 cats, 2 puppies and 4 people was more of a project than the actual project

Goober, I agree with you about the bear. Next it would have been in your trashcans, garden and if there was no food outside it could easily come into your home. If they get used to food in a certain area you can't make them go away.
My Mother in Law has been feeding the raccoons from the woods behind her house for years, if there's no food in the bowls outside they now tap on her window. Every year they bring the babies to show them where the food is, very cute to watch. Noone in the neighborhood has to worry about their trashcans or birdfeeders since they know there is easy food available in a place where there are no kids or animals for them to hurt or that will hurt them.
