No steel toes, no hardhat, no coveralls.
Use a ladder to reach your work, not your friends face.
Company vehicles should always have license plates properly affixed.
Today is NOT bring your child to work day.
The extra hot sauce on the second burrito at breakfast may not have been a good idea.
Drinking parties in the bunkhouse sometimes get out of hand.
Nice pictures.
Steve, are you in the Memphis area? I meet a Steve Boon a few weeks ago, and was wondering if you were one and the same.

Was my alter ego a surveyor?
Dang...those bears just took over like they owned the place/city. They are cute but I wouldnt want to get too close to one!! :-O
I can't take credit for the photography, these came to our safety people from someone in an oilfield camp in northern Alberta.
Grizzlies like these are nice to look at - from a distance. The problem is that they generally have no natural enemies, and they're not afraid of anything. If one starts to associate humans with food then they can be dangerous.

They are definitely something I want to look at from binocular distance. Most especially Momma and her cubs.

It's my guess that none of these bears lasted out the day these pictures where taken. Once they have lost their fear of humans the only cure is a shot of lead. They won't go away - if you trap them and relocate them they come back in no time - and it's too dangerous for them to be left around. They are in no way endangered in the north country.

Mark,
If you move them far enough you increase the odds that they will not come back or if they do it will be quite a while before they show up. But if you don't move them at least 200 miles it will be an exercise in futility.
Bears on COPS Show
You guys are reminding me of that one episode of COPS where the bear climbs up the palm tree in Tucson of all places (my old stomping grounds) and they had a heck of a time catching him. He was hungry I guess and during that time it was a baddd time for all of the desert animals. But a bear?! Crazy...
