Subject: Not trimming your message

Hi Mike,

I do not mean to be confrontational, just advising, that this is what comes across my desk when messages aren’t trimmed.  Maybe in the future you can cut out what is not needed. An accurate message in the subject matter would delete the need for forwarding so much.

Thanks much,

are we there yet

The real problem is that a bear that gets your food is inevitably a dead bear. If you will not do what is right stay out of bear country & it really is their country. They live there, not us.

The bears are EXACTLY that
smart.? Smarter, actually.
 
Save your food.? Save the bears.? Use a bear
canister.
