I decided snakes aren't so bad afterall

After encountering a bear on a hike

[Jane_Doe]

This past weekend we were hiking in a somewhat remote part of a national park and came across bears on two occasions during the same hike. That was kind of freaky. We used to camp and hike a lot but up until this weekend I'd only seen bears a couple of times before in campgrounds where there were lots of other people around.

The first bear we saw was in the distance and he disppeared into the forest so that was kind of cool. A half hour later into our hike a bear came pretty close to us, coming up on the trail behind us. That was kind of freaky. He was busy ripping apart an old tree trunk looking for grubs so he didn't seem interested in us, but it was still a bit unsettling. We gave him a wide berth and doubled back to the main road.

Anyway, it gave me a little perspective to not be as creeped out over the king snake that was in our yard (per my previous post) anymore.

That's nothing. Grizzlies that shoot Copperheads out of their mouths roam the perimeter around my institution.

... and that's copperhead dragons we're talking about!

I think WW is starting to get too much nudity. Within just a few days we have people talking about a bear behind and drinking tea naked [webmasterworld.com]

I make one little slip and I am now renowned as a naked tea drinking, perv. :)

Reminds me of a joke about a sheep ...
