The wife and I went on vacation to Reno a month or so ago and had a great time.   There’s a little place there called “The Animal Ark” that rehabilitates orphaned and hurt wildlife for return to the wild.  They had one bear, however, who was not a candidate for return, since it had been kept (and neglected) too long as a cub.    So, they named him Eli, and he became a permanent resident.   He loves to play tetherball, apparently, and amuses himself for hours at it…
