Black Bear Sighting in Leeds, Alabama

James Spann Facebook post about a black bear sighting read:

From William Richard "Good morning Mr. Spann. The black bear spotted on Dunnavant Valley road and 41 was again captured last night shortly after 10:00 p.m. entering Leeds city limits. I captured him on one of my trail cameras just southwest of the quarry along Dunnavant Rd (SR 25) near Elliot Lane. After speaking with the woman who took the photo and got the security footage of the bear she gave me the exact location which was near the Dunnavant volunteer fire department, so I knew which ridge he was traveling along and set up multiple cameras.

This is the Little Oak Ridge that eventually becomes Mills Ridge in Leeds (AL). It's part of the mountain ridge that runs parallel to 119. I may have cheated a little bit and baited him to draw him in with a case of black berries, apples, and raw fish, so don't mind the bait pile.  This location is also just once in a list a few miles south of the Waffle House which is an infamous location for bear sightings in the past.

And as always, here is the photo (ssen above) from my trail camera app geo-tagged with exact GPS coordinates and the camera location on the map for authentication purposes to validate this is real. I noticed how many people questioned the validity of yesterday's photo. I believe this is the same bear from the video footage I sent you Thursday from Chelsea and Highway 51. I can't recall a black bear being this documented as it migrates northeast since I've lived here anyway. Pretty cool."

You cannot redeem this coupon after it expires because Jersey Mike's Subs removes the old code for the printable coupon from their system to the store POS registers. So it won't be valid starting 6/25/2025.

Jersey Mike's Subs makes awesome subs. They will always ask you if you want it Mike's way. Mike's way is adding the following ingredients to your sub (generally applicable to cold subs): lettuce, onions, tomatoes, oil, vinegar, and spices.

Jersey Mike's makes one of the best Philly Cheese Steak subs with Chipotle Mayo, but don't worry, the Chipotle Mayo is not spicy, it just adds to the flavor. Under the hot subs section on the menu, the Chipotle Cheese Steak is #43 on the menu.

A Tip When Ordering the Chipotle Cheese Steak... 

Now, if they wrap your Chipotle Cheese Steak sub in aluminum foil before handing it to you, be sure to eat it soon. The juices from the sub could make your Chipotle Cheese Steak bun soggy if you take your wrapped sub anywhere to eat it (i.e. such as taking it back to work).

Pro Tip: Eat your Jersey Mike's Chipotle Cheese Steak not long after you get it for maximum enjoyment!

In My Opinion...

I think Jersey Mike's should provide other side options besides just chips, but I can't complain about their delicious sub sandwiches. Some people would like to eat healthier, and I think introducing other sides, like potato salad, would be popular for Jersey Mike's Subs.

I thought it was great when Jersey Mike's took the money from one day's sales and donated all of it to a local charity. That was really a class act for Jersey Mike's to do that.

I have always wanted to try the Grilled Pastrami Reuben, #20 on the hot subs menu, but I can't get myself to order anything other than the Chipotle Cheese Steak sub, because it is that good!

What is your favorite sandwich at Jersey Mike's subs?

Black Bear Spotted Roaming Around Huntsville Alabama in June 2025. Get Your Eyes Checked, Because It's Not a Baby Elephant

WHNT News 19 Chief Meteorologist Danielle Dozier posted photos and videos of a black bear roaming around Huntsville on Facebook in June 2025, and local residents are surprised that it really happened.

Black bear was seen in Huntsville, AL in June 2025

North Alabama residents got to experience nature over the weekend that is more typical of Gatlinburg, TN, or Asheville, NC, when a black bear was seen roaming around a neighborhood in June.

WHNT News 19 Chief Meteorologist Danielle Dozier's Post on Facebook

WHNT News 19 Chief Meteorologist Danielle Dozier posted on her social media page about a black bear spotted in Huntsville, AL, in mid-June 2025, and people are losing their minds in the comment section. The first photo posted above was taken over the weekend.

Her Facebook post read:

"BEAR IN HUNTSVILLE! The bear was seen roaming around the Marina Park neighborhood in Huntsville over the weekend! Photo from Dana Doner." 

The second photo that Danielle Dozer posted (seen below) was taken on Monday, June 16, 2025, by Garrett Pinkerton.

On her Facebook page, she also has a video of the black bear roaming around Huntsville. AL.

Some Facebook Users Think That the Black Bear is a Baby Elephant

Facebook users sometimes say strange things, and this time was no different. Several users commenting on Danielle Dozier's original Facebook post think they are seeing a baby elephant. 

*For context, the University of Alabama Crimson Tide's mascot is an elephant, so there may be a joke hidden in there.

Facebook user Quoc Ha posted in the comments, "Looked like a baby elephant at first. lol" 

Facebook user Ashley Palguta added in the comments, "Quoc Ha, I thought it was an elephant. I thought it was some kind of AL joke."

Facebook user Paige Burnett Frost posted in the comments, "Why did I think that was an elephant 😂"

Facebook user Joni Charlton Colburn posted in the comments, "Quoc Ha, I had to zoom in. I saw an elephant too."

Facebook user Christa McDowell posted in the comments, "Quoc Ha, I thought that too 🐘"

Facebook user Nicole Burke McCowen posted in the comments, "Probably the same bear spotted by the train tracks on Hobbs Island yesterday."

Some Facebook users questioned if the bear was real or just AI, and WHNT News 19 Chief Meteorologist Danielle Dozier assured them in the comments that the black bear "was real after seeing the security video footage herself."

Safety Tips When Encountering a Black Bear in Huntsville, AL

It is important to remember that when you encounter a bear of any kind, to should keep calm. 

• If you have time, get all children and pets indoors quickly.
• Never turn your back on a bear and run. This can trigger a predator instinct to chase. 
• While black bears tend to be more skittish than other types of bears, a mother bear will be more aggressive when protecting her bear cubs. Always stay clear of bears and keep your distance.
• Never feed wildlife, including bears. It can cause them to get attached to humans, rather than fear them, and this will never end well for bears.

The U.S. Sun reported that Whirlpool has agreed to pay up to $300 USD to consumers who purchased one of their refrigerators starting in 2012. More details on the specific date range are provided below.

Whirlpool has not admitted any wrongdoing in the class action lawsuit settlement but has agreed to pay an undisclosed total sum to eligible consumers.

Class members receive up to $300 USD for repairs and 75% of the original price if the refrigerator is between 1-3 years old.

Details of the Whirlpool KitchenAid Maytag Class Action Settlement 

The class action lawsuit settlement will compensate consumers who purchased certain Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and Maytag refrigerators sold between 2012 and 2019, which were affected by a manufacturing defect that caused excessive frost to accumulate on the evaporator. The serial numbers of the defective models are provided by the manufacturer.

Consumers have been told to check whether their appliance is eligible for searching for its serial number on the settlement website. Class members can receive up to $300 for past refrigerator repairs and replacements, under the settlement terms.

Official Whirlpool Class Action Lawsuit Claim Form Website Information

In the class action lawsuit, Paperno v. Whirlpool Corp., consumers who file a claim may be entitled to cash compensation. The official settlement claim website is here.

The official claim website states:

"Submitting a claim form is the only way to seek benefits relating to a Class Refrigerator that experienced Frost Clog Issues prior to January 31, 2025. Your deadline to submit a claim form is June 18, 2025.

Consumers may be Entitled to Cash Payment in the HexClad $2.5 Million Class Action Lawsuit Settlement, More Details

Did you purchase a Hexclad cookware product after February 1, 2022? If so, you may be entitled to cash from a class action lawsuit settlement against HexClad cookware.

Hexclad Class Action Lawsuit settlement

$2.5 Million Hexclad Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

HexClad has agreed to pay cash to customers in a $2.5 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve false claims that its cookware was free from toxic chemicals, such as polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).

The lawsuit is: Cliburn v. One Source to Market, LLC dba Hexclad Cookware, Inc.

Allegations in the Lawsuit Against Hexclad

In the lawsuit, HexClad customers claimed in the class action lawsuit that the company's products are not as safe as they seem. According to the class action lawsuit settlement filed by the plaintiff, HexClad cookware does allegedly contain toxic chemicals, such as PFAS and PFOA, despite being advertised as being free from these toxic chemicals. 

According to the class action lawsuit, HexClad's "false and misleading representations and omissions" are material and would likely deceive reasonable consumers.

Unsurprisingly, HexClad has not admitted any wrongdoing but has agreed to pay $2.5 million to resolve the allegations. 

The class action lawsuit settlement will pay cash to consumers who purchased one or more eligible HexClad products between Feb. 1, 2022, and March 31, 2024.

If you purchased a HexClad cookware product during this period, visit the official claim form online to join the class action lawsuit settlement. Consumers who want to be eligible to receive a cash payment must do so by November 15, 2025.

Proof of purchase is not required for consumers who submit a claim for one or two products, but consumers submitting a claim for 3 or more products must provide a receipt or proof of purchase.

The deadline for exclusions and objections is August 5, 2025.

The final approval hearing for HexClad is September 15, 2025.

Amazon is Training Robots for Home Package Delivery, Per Report

Amazon is enhancing its logistics operations by developing and testing humanoid robots for package delivery. This initiative aims to improve efficiency and potentially transform the last-mile delivery process and integrating robots into more of its operations.

Amazon is Making a Park to Train Robots for Package Delivery

Amazon has been constructing a humanoid robot park in its San Francisco, CA office. This indoor obstacle course is designed to train robots to navigate complex environments, simulating real-world delivery scenarios with the future goal of package delivery.

According to The Information, the company plans to deploy these humanoid robots from inside its fleet of Rivian electric delivery vans. The robots would exit the vans to deliver the packages directly to the customer's doorstep to streamline the delivery process. Per the New York Post, Amazon recently purchased 20,000 Rivian vans for its fleet.

Amazon has established an "agentic AI team" focused on developing flexible robot systems capable of understanding and responding to natural language commands. This effort is part of a broader strategy to replace rigid test-specific machines with more adaptable solutions. 

The company is evaluating various humanoid robots, including the digital robot from Agility Robots and a $16,000 model from China's Unittree. These tests are crucial for assessing the robotics capabilities in real-world delivery tasks.

More Robots Could Potentially Reduce the Need for Humans

While the deployment of humanoid robots could enhance efficiency, there are concerns about potential impacts on human employment. Amazon currently employs approximately 275,000 drivers in the U.S. and about 1.55 million people worldwide. The company states that the human drivers can still operate the vans without causing inefficiencies, suggesting this would be a collaborative approach between humans and robots. 

This initiative reflects Amazon's ongoing commitment to integrating advanced technology into its operations, potentially setting new standards in the logistics and package delivery industry.
