Despite our rain, I have never contemplated having to Defend my children from a Polar Bear while passing a game of street hockey.



Tom, i saw that mentioned last night on the Colbert Report. Tough not to find that at least slightly humourous in a sick sort of way. Those sorts of attacks are restricted to very isolated communities in the far north. I watched a 10minute deal on Halloween in Churchill, Manitoba where townspeople set up a perimeter around town to keep the polar bears from snacking on the trick-o-treaters. Needless to say penguin costumes are not a big seller there.

The big draw in Churchill is the Tundra Buggy Tours.
