I didn't realize grizzlies were in GTNP.
Grizzlies actually range down to about 100 miles south of Jackson, and to the big Holes to the West of Driggs. They have been remarkably successful in the last 20 years. They are my biggest cycling fear on the trails, tbh.
When a hulking grizzly bear and her two cubs wandered into a clearing near a parking lot at Yellowstone National Park on May 10, a woman pulled out her phone to snap photos.
As she came within three yards of the trio — with just a thigh-high stone barrier between them — the mother bear suddenly charged, a video of the incident captured by another park visitor showed. People behind the woman gasped as she slipped her phone into her sweatshirt pocket and quickly walked away.
The mother bear stopped after a few steps as her cubs scuttled off toward the nearby tree line. The bear turned and retreated with her offspring.
Yellowstone National Park officials on Wednesday charged the woman, who is from Carol Stream, Ill., with feeding, touching, teasing, frightening or intentional disturbing wildlife — a federal violation of park policy barring visitors from getting within 100 yards of a bear. She is set to appear for a hearing at the Yellowstone Justice Center in Wyoming on Aug. 26, according to a citation filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming.
Grizzly bears have rarely attacked people inside or near Yellowstone National Park, where more than 700 of the animals live. Since Yellowstone opened in 1872, eight people have been killed by bears inside the park, according to the National Park Service. Officials say an average of one nonfatal bear attack happens there each year.

Witnesses who saw the woman approach the mother bear and her cubs in May warned her to get back inside her car, the Billings Gazette reported. Investigators found that she had posted photos of the bears on her Facebook page with the caption “absolutely floored by the beauty of this place,” the newspaper reported.

Well, if she was floored, all is forgiven.
Dang. She could still procreate.
Looks to me like the mama grizzly didn't want to take on a human that large.
Does the Federal Government hand out community service?
Because that idiot needs to do a lot of it.
Or maybe just have to stand at the W Yellowstone entrance with a sign that says "don't approach the wildlife. This is not a petting zoo" for, like, the rest of August.

Christ, only a few tourons scurried away, and a few more started getting closer. Humans need more culling.
The un-represented wildlife in that story, Benny, gonna bitch slap ya.
Boris is just rage-posting about…anything.
This one had no Yellowstone, no wildlife…WTF?
However, this guy, I bet he is a little WILD

I just read somewhere or maybe I heard it on the radio that more people are arrested for DUI driving Dodge Rams than any other vehicle.
Given the closeness of the ten 10....its not conclusive to one type of vehicle (good mix of american, foreign, sedan, truck, van) other then AGE of the vehicle:Quote:

Insurify.com uses artificial intelligence to provide an online comparison platform to help its users shop for auto insurance. Its users also submit applications for auto insurance. In those applications, drivers provide information which includes the make and model of their vehicle and the moving violations on their record in the last seven years, including DUI.
The research team at insurify.com examined the data from its database of approximately four million car insurance applications. The research team found that, in the United States, 19 out of every 1,000 drivers reports at least one DUI within the last seven years. They also learned that, out of 415 different vehicles, some models had more than their share of DUIs. For the models in the list of the top ten, 42 out of every 1,000 drivers had a DUI within seven years.
Results
According to the insurify.com report, the vehicles with the most DUIs in 2021 are:
10. BMW 7-Series (103% above national average)
9. Audi A4 Allroad (105% above national average)
8. Jaguar S-Type (120% above national average)
7. Chrysler Concorde (121% above national average)
6. BMW 2-Series (125% above national average)
5. Acura Integra (126% above national average)
4. Mazda 3 (127% above national average)
3. Chevrolet Caprice (128% above national average)
2. Chevrolet Astro (134% above national average)
1. GMC C1500 (144% above national average)
Observations
The insurify.com report observes that the list of models with the most DUIs in 2021 is comprised of a variety of vehicle types. Some are sports cars and luxury sedans, while others are trucks and minivans. Some are expensive, while others are low-cost.
The report also observes that older car models have more DUIs: six of the top ten models on the list were discontinued as of 2008. It notes the age groups with the most DUIs are 21-24 year-olds and opines that younger drivers may purchase less expensive vehicles, which tend to be older. Despite putting forth this theory, the article explicitly states the study does not imply the existence of a causal relationship between DUI and vehicle model.
LMAO!!!!
Nice work dude.
I guess I heard wrong
Naw, you heard right, just out of date:Quote:

I find it interesting how little crossover there is between the 2020 and 2021 models.
I would conclude on just that data alone that there is little correlation between vehicle model driven and DUIs.Quote:

As I understand it, collisions with Moose on that road are not unheard of, and Teton/Yellowstone might as well be the same park, so I’d allow this minor thread drift.
But this guy was going 130 mph in a fricken pickup truck! I have a hard time processing that.

Praying to Darwin.
Praying to Darwin? Isn't that sort of an oxymoron? Although I suppose Darwin wasn't an atheist, just a heretic.
Though reticent about his religious views, in 1879 he responded that he had never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a god, and that generally "an Agnostic would be the more correct description of my state of mind." He went as far as saying that "Science has nothing to do with Christ, except insofar as the habit of scientific research makes a man cautious in admitting evidence. For myself, I do not believe that there ever has been any revelation. As for a future life, every man must judge for himself between conflicting vague probabilities."Quote:

I was praying, asking Darwin and his principles to intercede and wipe those tools off the face of the planet.
This will reduce some stupidity.
