Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Bear Eats Oatmeal in Woman's Kitchen -- and lives

Funny story today from West Vancouver, BC, courtesy the AP: A woman came home to find a young bear eating oatmeal in her kitchen. Now it's a cute story and all, but the kicker for me is how the West Vancouver PD resolved it:
Three police officers who went to the home Thursday couldn't get the bear to budge, so authorities let the animal finish its meal.

'The bear didn't appear to be aggressive and wasn't destroying the house, so they just let it do what it was doing and eventually the bear decided to make its way out of the residence and down toward a forested gully,' Skelton said. 'It ended the best it could.'
I have absolutely no doubt that here in the Land of the Free, the bear would have been shot.
