The Dead Photos - Back on Tour - Easter Sunday - Greensboro

The Grateful Dead's 4 remaining original members are back together on the road for a 2009 tour. Opening night in Greensboro, NC on Easter Sunday was an awesome beginning to what should be an epic tour. 44 years since they first began as a all night party band, The Dead did not disappoint opening their tour with a Music Never Stopped. The 4+ hour show kept most of the crowd on their dancin feet! See the full gallery of photos from The Dead's opening night of tour!

The Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado is one of the top rated places to see a concert in the United States. Located on the Eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, Red Rocks offers a spectacular view of the beginning of the plains and Denver. The museum built into the top of the venue shares many photographs of the many bands that have performed there. No band stands out like the Grateful Dead at the Red Rocks Museum. Behind the venue is the first row of mountain of the Rockies. This was taken in the afternoon before The Dead played back in 2004. See the photo galleries from the show here:

North American Black Bear - Ursus americanus

The North American Black Bear - Ursus americanus - is well established in Western North Carolina including the city limits of Asheville.  Bears run though our yard often. The City of Asheville was kind enough to exchange my trash can for one with a bear-proof metal bars to secure the lid. This bear came through about 10 days ago around 1pm. We live within the city limits of Asheville.

Update:  The bear proof trash can not only keeps me from having to clean up trash all over the yard after being ransacked by scavenging bears, it makes the neighborhood safer because the bears learn that these green food storage bins are not a free lunch and that they are better off foraging in the woods.  If you have bears in your neighborhood, I recommend you ask the city for a bear proof trash can and encourage your neighbors to do so too.  A few times the bears have come beating on the trash can trying to get in but the trash can has held up with "bearly" a scratch.  One time, after a dedicated effort to get in, a bear gave up and took a nap under a pine tree the backyard.

Bear-proof trash cans also help bears by helping to prevent their domestication and potential problematic interaction with humans and dogs.
