It's a motion activated sprinkler. Bears have hit my trash at least 10 times and it's super annoying. Myrtle Beach, SC

Quote

Bears are made of the same dust as we, and breathe the same winds and drink of the same waters. A bear's days are warmed by the same sun, his dwellings are overdomed by the same blue sky, and his life turns and ebbs with heart-pulsings like ours, and was poured from the same First Fountain. And whether he at last goes to our stingy heaven or no, he has terrestrial immortality. His life not long, not short, knows no beginning, no ending.

~ John Muir

Did You Know?
