Bears

     I live in suburbia, but early this morning when opening the back door I startled a mama black bear and her 2 cubs as they were decimating our bird feeders.  They immediately took off running, but one cub ran up a fence post.  The second cub returned to get him and then both followed mama around the corner and out of sight.  So  cool, but it all happened too fast.  I wish I could have gotten pictures.
     We will start bringing our bird feeders in the house overnight; no need to get the bears in trouble by having them so close to people.

"If you're a bear, you get to hibernate.  You do nothing for six months.  I could deal with that.
Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid.  I could deal with that, too.
If you're a bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you're sleeping and wake to partially grown, but cuddly cubs.  I could definitely deal with that.
If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business.  You swat anyone who bothers your cubs.  If your cubs get out of line, you swat them, too.  I could deal with that.
If you're a bear, your mate expects you to wake up growling.  He expects that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat. 
Yup, I wanna be a bear."
