More pictures and an explanation:ÂÂ
These are some amazing shots. A bear was walking across Rainbow
Bridge (Old Hwy 40 at Donner Summit, Truckee California) on Saturday when
two cars also crossing the bridge scared the bear into jumping over the
edge of the bridge. Somehow the bear caught the ledge and was able to pull
itself to safety. Authorities decided that nothing could be done to help
Saturday night so they returned Sunday morning to find the bear sound
asleep on the ledge. After securing a net under the bridge the bear was
tranquilized, fell into the net, lowered, then woke up and walked out of
the net.

Fuck Bears.
You won’t be feeling so sympathetic when this 300 pound asshole is clawing your face to death.

Well, that’s what your homeless ass gets for sleeping under a bridge like that.

All people deserve very good life time and credit loans or just secured loan would make it better. Just because freedom relies on money.
