Al Bear

I love this photo of me being me in Niagara-on-the-Lake, on our Canadian vay-cay. Earlier this month. Tee-Hee! 🐻

Haha! After living in LA for close to 50 years Dex and I hit up a super corny/kitschy/cheesy attraction that we'd never seen before. Medieval Times down in Buena Park. We got a super discounted admission through Dex's job. I admit that it was very entertaining. I had no idea it was so popular too.

A furry art piece that I commissioned from @Yutsumiii on Deviantart. This is the first WIP sketch and I love it! Tee-Hee! I can't wait to see the finished product. Ballerina Al Bear!

I love spotting weird oddball cars out in the wild and this sure is one of them. The red 2026 Ferrari in the hotel next door was very unimpressive. What impressed me is seeing this. I read that fewer than 200 Fisker Ocean were sold in Canada during the very short run of the brand.

More Niagara photos. We had to hit the Wal*Mart to see the beer selection. It was very strange, only 3 small refrigerators were stocked with beer, but it was mostly the crap beer. All the exotic stuff was unrefrigerated. Very strange. The Niagara Falls view is from the US side looking to Canada.

Visiting Niagara Falls last week was fantastic! We had a great time. We Stayed on the Ontario Canada side in a hotel overlooking the falls. We also hit the US side, Niagara, NY. Weather was awesome! very chilly my fav! we missed another extreme heat wave in LA.

Who cares, but the profits must be first. www.reuters.com/business/fin...

This is embarrassing. While we visited the Los Angeles Zoo on Sunday I was posing for this photo that Dexter Fox was taking, it. an older 80 yo or so Japanese-American lady walked by and told me that I looked cute! Wooot! Tee-Hee! I just turned tomato red and just said, thank you! I love me being me

Doing our small part to fight against the fascist megalomaniac, we are taking a vay-cay next month this time to Canadia, *kidding* And we specifically looked to fly on a Canadian airline. I found Porter airlines which I honestly had never heard of before, bought pricey, quality Canadian maple syrup.

More photos of cars I've seen in the roads of L.A. Maybach 62 in 2007 And Jay Leno driving his beautiful 1970 Mazda Cosmo. In my opinion, one of the most beautiful car ever built. But don't drive behind it. The exhaust is rich gasoline. Yeah, I'm somewhat of a car nerd and an old furry.

This is something you don't see in L.A. every day. Even rarer than the Maybach 57 and 62's I used to see on the freeway many times 20 + years ago. 🤣😂🤣

Our side, Dem party has looneys, that want to abolish everything they don't like, I admit. But now comes this republican British clown, running for Governor of California wants to "abolish the DMV" WTH man? Oh and charge drivers regardless of that car they own $73 for reg. $6m or $200 car FACEPALM

This is just so highly unusual for L.A. I'm getting so tired of this oppressive, Tropical-like weather. 67°F and 95% humidity with no precipitation! What the hell man? We've had to run the A/C just to remove the nasty humidity from inside the house too. I'm not used to this, it suuuuucks!

We made these for dinner last night, Fakewrap/Crunchwrap Supremes and oh man! They turned out super tasty and delicious! They are also so incredibly simple and easy to make. We made 4 and they weighed about 1 lb. each. Very filling. This found recipe is a keeper. Recipe here--> tinyurl.com/7vkadwmm

We sure have DK head drivers in the hood. In my entire 38 years of driving in L.A. since a 16 yo teen I have never seen this shenanigans! It really makes me ask, where the hell are the cops when you need them? And I still remember a FK'N cop giving me a ticket for a clear plastic license plate cover

I'm a damed weirdo. I did the first 0-60 mph run on my old ass bought factory new car from June 2002. Done in a closed and safe area, of course. 10 seconds isn't too shabby for a POS shit kicker Saturn L-100 SE. Fun fact, it still has the original coolant and transaxle fluid. And it's worth -a $500

The contents of my computer desk that I have owned since 1997 Top drawer contents. Just for the heck of it. On the left is my Bugs Bunny check book and scissors. Yes. I'm an old gen Xr that still writes personal checks. Below the colorful collection of pens/markers are envelopes and postage stamps.

I was in the kitchen this morning doing something on the counter and saw this little one out in the patio. A baby possum. At first glance I thought it was a rat. Cute little thing. I took pix and left it alone.

Sufferin' succotash! OMG! It's a REAL thing! I saw this at Wal*Mart this weekend and I had to get it! Even after decades of watchin' Sylvester saying that! 😂 I honestly never gave much thought to the word, just thinking it was a made-up nonsensical exclamation like, willikers. It's vegetable soup. 🐻

Seen at Wal*Mart this morning. During a week's long heatwave in early August. Ho! Ho! Ho! Meryyy Christmasss! (only 139 days away) 🌲🧑‍🎄🎅🤶🎄🎁. Seriously, this Christmas creep is getting silly.

One of the coolest tech demos I've ever seen. This one from IBM in San Francisco, 1965. In my opinion, even better than the mouse/GUI demo, the mother of all demos from 1968. SF and surroundings were tech hubs even back in the 60's. I can be a little 🤓 🐻 at times youtu.be/Y0FY3CDCw1o?...

Red chairs! 🪑🪑🪑

Ready for the weekend! 🍺🍻🍺

We're the olds. Dex and I freakin' love watching this show. We must have seen the entire series 4 times, now this is the 5th round of it. It never gets old.

Our good buddy Sabot Lours visited us, and we hosted him from Thursday last week to yesterday. During the long weekend we visited the L.A. US. Military Fleet Week event in San Pedro, CA. I dressed up for it. I was honestly thinking of not sharing this photo days earlier, but what the hell. It's me.

Holy cr@p! I've been hearing about memory prices going up as of recently thanks to AI stuff. The very same 4TB Samsung SSD drive that I bought for $219 2 years ago is now going for $889! But wait, I saw the price 12 hours ago and it was $819 Even brand name 1TB ones were going for -$60 now $150+ 😮

I smashed mi iPhone with the car door! I was wearing one of my skirts with pockets, the pockets sag A LOT! when I closed the car door the pocket and phone were right on the door jamb and it went *broke* when I closed the car door. 😂🤣😂 Case couldn't protect it. I had absolutely no idea its glass! 😯

Meanwhile, this morning in North Hollywood.

These caught my eye at the store today, they look quite interesting, may have to try one of these days.

Touristy stuff/sightseeing today in Kauai. The canyon so much reminded us of the Grand Canyon in Arizona. but greener. Local Hawaiian food rocks too!

Morning view from the patio in the house we are staying at in Kauai, Hawaii. Home for 6 more days. 🐻

Everybody knows and has heard that classic 1980's song by Naked Eyes - Always Something There To Remind Me. But have you heard the original 1963 version by Burt Bacharach? All I can say is that it's hilarious! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 It's sooooo Muzak/Elevator sounding. Vibing grandma www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8Sf...

I was looking through my old photos and found this. I made this cool image from combining two photos from our great 2014 Hawaiian vacation! I put this little gif together and dang, the result was this. We saw 3 islands in Hawaii back then We'll be going again in a few weeks, to Lanai this time. 1 wk

My look today outside. Dexter Fox and I hit the LA Zoo and I wore my new dress in public, I modified the look by wearing my black newsboy cap, navy sweater vest, navy tights and my black patent maryjane shoes. I'm a guy and always will. But it felt so nice to express myself in fashion. Little things

This is absolutely nuts! I drew this on March 20, 1991. I still have the real paper copy of the original. Daaaang! Yeah, I'm an old.

I'm a fun old guy! I popped like a champagne bottle cork. I dont give a rat's ass on what people think of me. I'm I reached my level in life that I dont care what people think about me Yes, femmy and male together. Just to make it clear, I am not a transsexual. I'm just expressing myself in fashion.

Peak internetz irony here! 😂 I bet it was that Cloudflare acting up again.

I'm happy! With brisk walking 1.6+ miles daily and cutting down food portions and beer , still drink but cut down, I have lost 26 LBS (11.7k) in less than 3 months! I'd like to lose 60 (27.2k) more. I was very sedentary. Little habit changes really help.

When I take my early morning brisk walks I do fast sprints every so often When I did one, I opened my mouth before running, a fly got in, tried desperately to hock it out. I couldn't and I swallowed it! 🤢🤮🤢🤮 so disgusting! I Couldn't vomit. Been thinking of that all day. 1st time that ever happens.

I bought myself a skirt recently and OMG! I friggin' LOVE IT! 😍 I've worn it many times this week out and about. It looks FAB with my black patent shoes and white tights.

Call me old-fashioned, but this is our kind of establishment. We hit an independent, local hamburger place for the first time since moving into the neighborhood back in April 2009. I had an awesome pastrami sandwich combo. And these signs were all over inside. We didn't see any cell usage! In LA!

This may be the last half-@ssed attempt to draw my fursona on the iPad. I drew it back in May 2022. I never bothered showing it before because I feel it's very crude and unfinished. I wanted to re do it again. But screw it. Here it is. And yes, hands are such a b*tch to draw! Note: diff. head shape.

Christmas lights 2025, Yes even though we are nonreligious atheists we still call em' Christmas lights.

Cute very furry-looking product packaging. One of Dex's co-workers brought in office snacks, it was this, popcorn that caught Dex's eye. He brought it home to show me. I've never heard or seen this brand, apparently, it's from Old Mexico.

First thing i have actually drawn in over 3 years. My fursona, Al Bear. I don’t know how to draw, and always use scrap paper as not to waste clean, good paper. Better than nothing or AI right?

Well, Dexter Fox and I are all systems go for BLFC tomorrow! Who will we see there?

Did anyone ever use these silly 90's things? Minidisc, before recordable CD's? I got suckered into them in 96 but I never liked them. I found this one in a box of junk, a survivor, I threw mine away in 05' the survivor sold for this. I'll put my trash there to see what happens 🐻 tinyurl.com/4ymj9fev

A month and a day early.
