A Bear? Remember the days before I got here when you all patiently counseled me on this that and the other thing. Those were exciting times. GE counseled me on snakes, dbussone on gators, Barefoot on Veterinary care and the Florida conditions for our old boy Barney the Boxer, Mrs. Gracie on Real Estate matters and keeping me from being out of line with a realtor that I was struggling with. Taltarzac treated me like a brother also. Just fantastic people. Never did any of them mention that we were moving into a Minature Jurassic Park. There are animals here that I have never seen before, being a city boy the most we ever saw was a squirrel or a deer. It was like I was from The Fresh Air Fund when we got here. I have come a long way towards becoming a Floridian. We respect all wildlife and give them their space. Turtles, Frogs, Snakes, and especially those three beautiful tall birds that walk like they own the place and those little Gecko's. A pretty cool place. Looking in the rearview mirror I worried a whole lot for nothing. The Bears are a whole other thing. It must have not been garbage day because that Bear would not be playing with the downspout. We are living in their area, this was their home first.
