So, apparently, we have a black bear cub that comes around every other day now.  He is about 200 lbs and likes garbage. 

Friday is one of our scheduled garbage pick-up days in town.  So, we usually see the bear in the morning, before the garbage men get there, rummaging through the trash.

Yesterday, the bear and I came within 10 feet of each other.  He casually acknowledged my presence and I cautiously acknowledged his.  I felt like saying, "Hi Yogi, have a nice day at the office."

The dogs were not happy.  They were going insane.  They stayed inside and I left for work.
