This is why I only camp at Marriott properties

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/10/us/colorado-glacier-view-ranch-camp-bear-attack/index.html

(CNN)A camp staffer at a Christian summer camp in Colorado received medical care after he was made awake early Sunday by a bear chewing on his head.

The 19-year-old said that he thought he was dreaming as he heard a "crunching sound," only to wake up in "immense pain" as the black bear attempted to drag him away from the Glacier View Ranch campsite, Colorado Parks & Wildlife spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill told CNN.

I like camp fires...I like outdoors...I like eating stuff you cook on a campfire...etc.

But when it comes to bed time I want air conditioning or heat, I want a fluffy pillow, a soft bed, a shower, and no bugs. Yes I'm a big wienie. Oh, and I don't want a bear to eat my head.

the bear must have been desperately hungry.

also: "he was made awake"? was this story written in Chinese first?
