Mea Culpa

Apparently it's been too long since I've lived in Alaska and too long since I've remembered my dad's old adage, "Never assume, it makes an ass out of u and me."

Well, remember this?

(I posted it oh so long ago.) Apparently, after talking to my father and being mocked by Mia, it is not a holding area for bears that have been captured (as I assumed!), it is in fact a place for hunters to bring in the bears they have killed. ADF&G measures the skulls and marks the hides and makes sure the hunters have tags for the animals. The hides are typically stinky and Fish and Game got tired to having the smell in their offices.

So much less exciting than my previous thoughts.

Ah, well, here's to false assumptions. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea GRAND clupa!!

(Mia, feel free to comment and mock.)
