Okay, you're not going to believe this. A month ago I posted a story about a black bear that broke into my inlaws' Montana home while they were out and raided their kitchen (click here for the original story). Well, this weekend I came across a similar story - again in Montana - involving a grizzly bear (and not my inlaws, thank goodness!).
The story goes like this: "Once upon a time, this old grizzly
bear learned that white refrigerators hold tasty snacks that are
neither too hot nor too cold, but just right.
And so the Albino
Basin Male, or No. 191 as he's known to biologists, slaps his big muddy
paws up on a window, presses his nose to the glass and checks things
out. If he sees a brown fridge, or a green fridge or even a yellow
fridge, he usually moves on.
But if it's white, he smashes his
way in, a sort of reverse Goldilocks looking for porridge and anything
else that might be stashed away in the cupboards.
During the last week in August, he broke into no fewer than nine unoccupied cabins in the Condon [Montana] area, leaving behind a huge mess and enough DNA that biologists now know exactly who he is." (Click here to read the rest of the article.)
Great suggestion, Carla! Surely someone's thought of that by now... :)

2. Who has a green or yellow fridge?
Someone that hasn't bought a new fridge since the 70's.

1. Smart!! Apparently it's the new "not the average bear."
2. Who has a green or yellow fridge?
3. Simple solution: Close the blinds!
