I really miss the old days

We had a blast back then ...

when I was young and adventerous.

The truth is, I would do just about

anything on a dare.



Great Journeys

Ever go on a

Great Journey?

No?

I'm so sorry.

Da and I



go on at least one epic adventure

every week.

Like , maybe today.

Hint, Hint, Hint

When do you know you've messed up?

For KitCat it was about 1 second

after the words left his mouth

***

For Elsie, it was four or five minutes

After she proved to herself that

yes she could stick her head through the opening.

***

For Carl it was about a half mile

into the 500 mile race.



***

For ZeroBear

It was about 2 seconds after

He grasped the blade tightly,

yelled "Contact" and saw FluffyKitty

turn the fan control to "High Speed".

Everybody was

Kung Foo Fighting!

Had to be fast as lightnening.



Perspective

This climbing wall no big deal

He will go from bottom to top in no time at all.

Let's change our perspective a little by

backing away.

Ouch! Look at the edges if the guy

and wall don't impress you.

So

Let's look at it in perspective.

Hoo Nellie!

You see, perspective is everything.

Just like this

The guy with me is shaking in his boots.

Me?

Don't wear boots.

Don't need them.



I live for this stuff.

Wow!

All I can Say is Wow!

Ok - actually I plan on saying more than Wow,

but I thought that would be a pretty good way to start.

Look At This!

Linky Dink - Mash here

That interwebs site was brought to my attention by one

of the blog's loyal readers.

(probably a space expert from NASA)

And I was so excited when I read their plan.

The first thing I thought when I read

their presentation was

 

Funnel Cake!

Seriously ...

But the second thing I thought was,

We can be a part of this!

Imagine, being a part of the first colony on

Scenic Mars!

You know

I've been there once already.

It was a short adventure trip about a year or two back.

Search through old posts with space label

and you'll find the whole write-up.

I'm sure you know, 

I live for adventure!

 

Anyhow, we ought to get a group together and

sign up for the first Mars settlement expedition.

Any takers?

The interwebs site I linked to up above there

looks first rate and absolutely trustworthy.

All they need is a couple of bozillion dollars

to make it happen.

Wonder what Mumzie's paypal limit is this week?

Have you ever done something

In the name of adventure

you wish you hadn't done?

I received this from one of the blog's loyal readers

this past week and after careful study I came to the

conclusion that this guy really shouldn't have done

what he did.

What are you talking about Mr. ZeroBear?

Well just look.



Average bear - right?

Just hanging around.

Right?

In my opinion he has messed up badly.

How so?

Let's back out a little and have a look.

Yep.

Bad mistake.

In case you wondered

That's an old ketchup factory in the background

and I'm about to go down good old Troy Hill to Ohio

and then into the city.

We were headed to good old

U of Pitt. They wanted to make me an Honorary PhD

of PolyBearology.

Good gig when you can get it.

That tall building back behind me is their Tower

of Learning. Know what I learned?

That even though their sign is broken in the M

Jo Mamas has a pretty good Meatball Sandwich.

I would have shown you a photo, but it got eaten

before my photog team showed up.

That's the skyline on the other side of that bridge.

Here I am getting ready to go mountain bike riding.

Why?

I live for Adventure.

Duh...

I had no idea

That Pittsburgh was such a swell place

If you never had one, you have absolutely

no idea what you have missed.

And I guess they made them in this parking lot.

They have big football fields named after pickles.

Or maybe after 57 bottles of Ketchup or steak sauce.

also

They have the very most

Modern Cafes in Pittsburgh

And

Good places to go eat waffles

We already talked about Waffle Restaurants?

Well, one can never talk too much about waffles!

Here's another bridge.

and me.

No, I was just resting my eyes.

I could have gone 24/7 while we were there.

That's a Pittsburger door out there behind me.



Pittsburgh a city of bridges

My chief tour guide (BroBert)

tells me that they have more bridges in Pittsburgh

than in Venice. I don't know if that's true, because

I've never been to Venice, actually I have never

been anywhere in Arizona.

In case you don't know, that's a bridge behind me.

another

more of them

Yadda Yadda

Yadda.

In fact, they have 446 of them, beating venice by 4.

only beat them by 3 bridges?

Whatever.

I also noticed Pittsburgh has several fine

Waffle establishments

Like this place.

Now that's a fact you need to file away.

  

Pittsburgh

Do you know this place?

Do you know what they do here?

They make stuff that could make a Little PolyBear's

head all swimmy.

Truth is it didn't.

But it could.



I have to hand it to Pittsburgh

They have spared no expense to cover my visit here.

They even pulled out the Goodyear Blimp for aerial coverage!

It wasn't?

Direct TV Blimp?

Same difference...



Sometimes a PolyBear has to do dangerous stuff

This life of adventure gets dangeous at times.

Like yesterday.

We were doing a photo shoot and the photog suggested

we go over to WQED to do a few shots.

That's the local public TV studio here in Pittsburgh. I

Mr. Rogers lived there once.

He was gone yesterday and they used a stand-in.

So who did I have to have my photo shot with?

A Minster Rogers impersonator.

who happens to be a great big

Poly Bear eating lizard!

I think he thought he had lunch and afternoon

snacks all gathered together.

I liked this better. You hardly ever hear that

a modern art statue ate anyone.



Pittsburgh!

8:30 pm

Here.

We

are.

Finally



A tired Bear?

Are you kidding?

Just trying to make Mumzie and Da feel better,

because they were getting tired and I hated to

make them feel bad.
