My bear encounter (not for the weak)

[Bad JuJu]

as long as you don't mind not seeing any pictures. the camra never seems to be around in this situation. though everyone today had to get a picture of me in a gumby suit so i'm sure i'll get one of those eventually. i must've looked pretty pathetic for everyone to want a picture.

Though I haven't commented yet, I found your story riveting, CWR! So glad to hear that you were able to save yourselves, and not have a total meltdown afterwards. But now I have a question--what in the world is a Gumby suit?

Great story, lph. Have you ever seen Tommy Boy? Similar, though less exciting scene! Very funny movie with Chris Farley and David Spade.

CWR, I love that you call the bear the "landlord". Man. Now I'm sitting here at my computer in Chicago, memorizing, "Fight a black bear. Play dead with a grizzley. Fight a black bear..." If this situation comes up anytime in my near future, we'll know the apocalypse is at hand. But you never know! Thank you for that info.

You really do have a most remarkable life. When I pick up your autobiography, years from now, and am reading this story that seems sort of familiar, and you mention TE, I'll cry out, "OMG! It's CWR!"

Wow, CWR, glad you're okay. Hopefully you're sleeping better by now. I don't think I would have been able to get through an experience like that without having to change my underwear.

Catching up from a long weekend away from TE...

Wow CWR! That's quite a little adventure you had there! I'm glad to hear you came out of it unscathed.
