U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson took a brief break from his diplomatic duties on Sunday, returning to his Exxon Mobil comfort zone to bask in the glow of approval from his former colleagues in the oil sector.
Accepting a lifetime achievement award from the World Petroleum Congress, the former Exxon CEO reminisced about his more than 41 years as an oilman, calling the energy industry “marvelous” and the people in it some of the most talented in any business. He also took time to meet with Turkey’s president and foreign minister.
“I miss all of you,” he said wistfully to his former colleagues in the oil business. “I miss you as colleagues, I miss you as partners, I miss you as competitors.”
A 19-year-old who teaches wilderness survival at a Colorado camp fought off a black bear on Sunday after waking up to the animal biting his head.

The teen said he woke up around 4 a.m. to a “crunching sound” as the bear tried to pull him out of his sleeping bag. He and other campers punched and swatted at the bear until it ran away. “The crunching noise, I guess, was the teeth scraping against the skull as it dug in,” he told a local news station.
