 BS> Speaking of bears...
 BS> Hunter killed by bear in Wrangell-St. Elias
 BS> Brown bear breaks into Alaska Zoo, kills alpaca named Caesar

I read about those events. CBC North often reports on news from
both Alaska and Greenland, sometimes even Siberia, as well as the
Canadian North

Alpacas are reported to be tasty.
     
 BS> Here's another thing I'm careful with ... Bay Leaf ... the
 BS> California version is overpowering.  Reminds me of eucalytus.

Or acetone. I find one or two leaves simmered in a savory liquid and
then removed is just fine but it's easy to overdose on the powdered
version that gets dumped in and stays in a dish.

 BS> Spotted a Ptarmigan standing right in the middle of my lane,

Ptarmachickens are the morons of the bird world. We've killed more
than one here that way.
