@spendius,
Bears don't "learn" to hibernate; it's intrinsic. Just like going to the pub is for you. And me uncorking wine. Get it? Happy Hols, Spendi.
Yes I like that too! Nothing is open except Denny's and the movie theaters! So guess what I did! I had lunch at Denny's and watched 'The Day the Earth Stood Still'. Not a bad movie ( I loved the original) Keanu Reeves isn't bad when all he has to play is an emotionless alien. Plus there is the extra bonus of absolutely no traffic on the freeways.
