bear

well, i saw a bear today.

here's the fun story:
as i was strolling up the flatirons, i came face to face with a huge bear. we wrestled for three hours but he finally acknoledged i had the dominance, and went away in shame

actual story:
as i was strolling up the flatirons, i saw a bear about 100 feet up the trail. he was just sitting there looking at me; enjoying the gorgeous spring we're having here (side note: spring is amazing right now! we had thunderstorms and rain today; and we've had a significant amount of rain lately; everything is blooming on the hills; high grass and wildflowers everywhere). anyway, he just sat there looking quizzically at me, and i decided to turn around. he walked a little my way, then turned off, and he's probably out there now getting some sleep. anyway; i walked down and told the open-space dude about it (sits at park entrance with information etc.). that's about all there is to the story. annie is pestering me with questions to the effect of "what are we forgetting for norway", so i'm signing off. i need to invest in some "bear spray". at any cost, seeing a black bear around here is rare (rhyming unintentional) and it was really cool.
