I was sitting outside in the shade, reading, when I chanced to look up from my book to see a big black bear come ambling straight for me.
What could I do? It was only a few yards away from me and my broken hip barred any attempt to get away. I was a sitting duck. But he only spared me a glance or two and then wandered off into the parking lot. Two police officers were trailing him.I took their advice to go back indoors.
Patty and I are both still sick. But the bear looked plenty healthy.
