Vaccination Hell...
Well in prep for my upcoming adventure I made a travel appointment with my doctor. However, my doctor is out on maternity leave so they stick me with this very odd woman, Inez. First she asks, where I am going, the next question: "Will you be riding any elephants?" hmmmm will I be riding elephants...my response: "Absolutely" so that means Yellow Fever vaccine... so now I am up to 3 shots...1) Hep A 2) Typhoid Fever and now 3) Yellow Fever...okay then she starts asking what pain meds/sleeping meds I want for the flight...I don't really care so I leave that up to her...next thing you know I have 1) ambien 2) valium 3) adavan 4) zanex...I feel like she may have been trying to kill me...heath leger style...anyways...now it's time for the shots...the nurse comes in and she instructs me to lay down because "they are three big boosters and I don't want you to pass out"...first is the Hep A, left shoulder, piece o cake...then the other two...um..ouch...then sheridan passing out...yes, this 26 year old obviously isn't good with pain...I woke up finding myself still lying down and in intense pain...well good thing I can mix myself a pain med cocktail thanks to the strange doc. Can't wait to ride those elephants!

remember, brown bear always beats black bear, especially in bali
well that's debatable some say that line of thought is "old school knowledge" I say the black bear beats brown bear cause they are harder to see at night.
Grizzly bears have a concave or dish-shaped face
Fact: Black bears use sounds, body language, and scent-marking to express their emotions of the moment.
Cubs, as well as older bears, engage in social play and have ritualistic mechanisms to meet strangers and decide if they're to be friends or not.
