Yah those banjo players. Sheesh.   ;)

I can't believe the amount of times I've cooked with the slider open, back
and forth with beer in hand, **somewhat oblivious to possible scenarios
involving rampant raccoons, beat the doors down bears or other wildlife.

I've never carried bear spray, but may do so in the future.

Neil.


** I do pay attention for wildlife. Just depends on where I am.

Like the hot tub in Jackson Wellness Hot Springs.   <grin>
