Too Much Fuss About Monrovia Bears?
Old picture of bear in our back yard.
I'm curious.
It seems whenever a bear is sighted in Monrovia we have sort of a media stampede, like today. Helicopters and whatnot. But bears - for better or worse - are really getting to be rather commonplace here and I'm wondering if maybe the media isn't overdoing things a bit.
What do you think?

Got Lunch at Rigo's Deli Mini Mart
Got lunch at Rigo's Deli Mini Mart, at Mayflower and Foothill. The place with the cow. Got the roast beef sandwich with egg, except they didn't have any egg, so roast beef, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado and jalapeños for $6.35. It is pretty tight quarters so I took it to go. Also got a small watermelon juice ("sandia" on the menu) for $2. Pity about the egg but it was still a really great sandwich. The watermelon juice was fresh-made in front of me. Excellent! And I didn't know you could fill these cups up into the lids!

Citrus College was founded on June 5, 1915, under the leadership of Dr. Floyd S. Hayden. It opened with 27 students and became the first community college to be established in Los Angeles County and the fifth in California. The institution was established due to an innovative trend in higher education that was being adopted across the nation, in which high schools were allowed to add two years of postgraduate work, approximating the studies prescribed in the first two years of college. This allowed a growing number of high school graduates to advance their educational goals, acquire new marketable skills, and achieve greater prosperity.
