By which, of course, I mean NooZ about bears. Speaking of bears, I changed the name of my Substack NooZletter to Friendly to Bears. While I am still searching for my Inner Panda, I thought a change was in order. Don’t ask me why. I think it was Frank and Mikey’s idea.
Speaking of Frank and Mikey, I was inspired by the story one of the zookeepers guides told us about their grizzly bear brothers that live at the zoo, and how they arrived there. Frank and Mikey (and Josie) had a similar story about their early days, and how they ended up where they did.
Who knows…it could be true…

The real NooZ is pretty scary and upsetting. If you can make the effort to call and/or email your reps in the House and Senate, it seems to be making a difference. Even if your reps are “Rs” they need to hear from you. Let’s make them nervous that they’ll lose their jobs if they don’t listen to their voters. You are their constituents even if you didn’t vote for them & you’re paying their salary.
Be the Bear
Bob T is friendly to bears Panda
Bears with secrets … or (gasp!) … secret bears?
Could be both!
My love for pandas has pretty much opened my heart to all bears. Maybe Frank and Mikey helped get me there.
Frank: aw shucks!
Mikey: we are pretty charming
ALL bears, whether sloth or panda or black or grizzlies are a joy. They have such adorable pookies.
Bug speaking of which, when is Otis going to return to his “twu wuv” and give us more pookies??? There’s plenty of room in the panda house now.
We are especially friendly to bears!
