Posted in the L.A. Times



This link has a video taken from a news helicopter of a guy texting while walking along his sidewalk, and being surprised by the bear:

Here are photos

Several of the pictures:

So after looking at the pictures I will remember to very careful about going outside no dressed properly. I think people forget that everyone has a cell phone camera so you will become instantly famous

I knew I should have moved to La Crescenta!! The one time we had a bear in our neck of the Valley, we were in Yosemite!! The video of the guy walking and texting is priceless!! SO glad the bear did not run after him when he ran away!!

On a more serious note, I am so happy to see that the people cared about the well being of the bear and that they took the time to relocate him instead of just taking the bear out.

I met that bear. He visited our house a month or so ago. He knocked a hole in a fence to get at our trash can. I came face to face with him a bit after midnight. I did not have my cell phone handy, so no picture.
