I suppose, for any number of reasons, the interest in the bear(s) has waned as of late-primarily due to the lack of exposure? -but my neighbor told me of 2 very recent sightings. It was difficult...

The bear came back through our property again yesterday. Apparently it has taken up at least temporary residence in our little valley here off Green Hill Road. I managed to take this short video of...

But of course, when people are cruising along at 50-60 mph or more, "a little space" is waaaaay insufficient. "A little space" at those speeds equals tailgating, which equals extreme stupidity and...

seriously, almost never. Part of that is probably because my definition of "yield" is pretty generous. If I've matched speeds with one car whose bumper is ahead of me (often by only a few feet) and...
