A Good Story – Yes 
A True Story? – Well, Which Part Are You Talking About? 

   In Colorado, a man has home security camera footage of a bear that spent five hours trashing his house while he and his family slept. 
   That’s a good story, but it raises a few questions. 
   First, I’ve watched a bear ransacking a tent and another bear ransacking an auto and there was nothing quiet about either operation. Those bears didn’t seem to care if anyone heard them or not. So now we have a bear ransacking a house, including ripping off the kitchen door and looking in on the sleeping occupants, and does it quietly? This must be one extraordinary bear. 
   Or second, this guy and his family are the champions of heavy sleepers. 
   That the bear tore up the house I don’t question, but that the people were in the house at the time? For that I’d want some corroboration. 


 This Was One Way to Do It 

    A man in Michigan had a problem with bees in his garage. His solution was to use a smoke bomb to encourage them to leave. Well it worked. In the process, he ignited some fireworks that he had stored in the same garage. The exploding fireworks set his garage on fire and it burnt to the ground. When the firemen got there, they witnessed a good fireworks display. 
    The man hasn’t seen a bee since. Whether they left because of the smoke, or were scared away by the fireworks, nobody knows. Personally, I think they probably left the garage, but hung around for the rest of the fireworks display before moving into the guy’s house.
