My life has been so uneventful that the only ‘story’ I can share are ones about my encounters with bears during the past few months.
Here goes:
A few months back while hiking with friends on a trail in Litchfield CT, this cute bear cub came running towards us. It started climbing a tree about 10 feet away. Five seconds later its mother, who was about 25 feet from us, stood up and started snorting at us.
We walked quickly by them and didn’t look back.
I don’t have any pics or video of the encounter because I didn’t want to posthumously appear on the 11:00 news with a caption like “Elderly Litchfield man videos his own fatal mauling by an enraged bear.”
The following week a 300 pound bear walked through my backyard. Apparently I am a real bear magnet.
