Bears in the Hood
I suppose you may be wondering about the bear that terrorized my neighbor.
Lin and I sat out in my Prowler in pouring rain for several hours waiting for him to return.
He was down at the river getting into trouble. I heard three large rifle shots at 0530 AM. Don't know if he got himself whacked, but he has not come by the last two nights.
I left a pot of moose stew out to cool one winter. It's common for us to use the cold nights to cool things.
Old Hanner the bear liked the stew. I heard him gobbling it down in big bites.
I cooled nothing else until he went to sleep for the winter.
He did steal my garbage can one cold November night. I don't know why he was still awake. He picked up my can, squeezed it with his paws, and bit it with those large teeth. He took one look at me, who was yelling "bad bear" insults, and dove over the bank.
I went down to see if I could find the can. The thick alders caused me to chicken out. I figured he needed it for his garbage. At least that's the reason I gave for not going into the alders to fight him for it. A $10 can wasn't worth the amount of stitches that it could take to put me back together. Wrestling one bear was enough, and the remenbrance was still very clear in my mind.
Today I repaired all of my outside security and yard lights. Soon the long cold, dark nights will be upon us.
A dark yard is not a kool thing to have to come home to.
Just for giggles... I may be in the Bay Area for Thanksgiving. If anyone is interested, I could do a "Bear and Mountain Lion Attack Seminar"in the Red Bluff area for the locals. All I need is a conference room for two hours.
Drop a line in the "comments" if anyone is interested.

Hi - very good web site you have established. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to issue a comment to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically pleasing. I used to be a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor in chief for a marketing firm. I have always enjoyed playing with information processing systems and am attempting to learn code in my spare time (which there is never enough of lol).
