    Fuzzy ol' trash potatoes. Wonder where they're coming in from?

    Used to see them all the time growing up. Had a mom and two cubs who would wander through the neighborhood dumpster-diving in early October. They'd come back every year.

    Please love yourself.

      We just had a black bear sighting about 5 miles from my place. That is way, way out of their known range.

      Haw. I'll see your five miles and raise you my front yard.

      Remember last year when I had a black bear trundle through 15 ft from my office window?

        Well, you live in VA, right? In a rural part west of NoVa? You're at least on the outskirts of black bear country if not surrounded by it.

        I'd have thought Ohio's a weird place to find them, though.

        Please love yourself.

          I grew up in the woods and mountains 30 miles south of Pittsburgh. As a teenager, a good time was taking fishing gear out to the woods and lake and hanging out all night fishing. As a 20-something a good time was taking a case of beer and fishing gear out to the lake and woods and attempting to fish all night. I was in scouts and went on a number of camping trips with Lucas when he was a scout. My entire life, I never saw a bear in the wild. One time a friend and I did see a big furry black butt disappearing into the woods, but we couldn’t verify.

          About 7 years ago I was volunteering at a church in Ashburn, VA. You don’t get more suburban than Ashburn… Sure enough, a yearling black bear comes trundling across the parking lot towards me and the students…

                    This one came to our bird feeders a few years ago, knocking the feeder poles down and smashing some feeders. He left his paw prints on the squirrel guard. I guess he knew he wasn't a squirrel. 🙂

                    Not my pic, it's from a couple blocks away. Notice the unhappy kitty.

                          Exactly right, Larry. He was kinda cute, IMO. However, he was in an area of kids, etc. Poor thing made a bad choice. I felt bad for him. He was put down. 😞
