Da Bears!

This isn't the exact bear who has been tormenting my beloved wife for the past 2 weeks. nor is it one of it's 2 brothers or mother. But i'm sure somehow the bear in this pic is related...

It seems as if the bears around here think they are one of the 90 cats that roam the neighborhood... they walk up and down the streets during the day. Looking for food. Looking for fun. Looking for trouble. Yesterday we had the opportunity to warn our neighbors kids playing in the yard that a bear was approaching them from the woods behind them. We also got to chase a mother and 3 cubs off our property (believe me i didnt see the cubs until after the fact), and finally, we got to hear our other neighbor screaming at the top of his lungs running after one who snagged his can down the road. That one was actually amusing...

Anyway... it seems as though these bears are not caring about our agreement. You know, like the one on Lost. Where the Dharma Initiative is allowed to live on the island, but aren't allowed to cross the line or make themselves visible to the others by any means... THAT AGREEMENT! Well hopefully they start respecting the people and their garbage around here, before someone seriously gets hurt, because if it comes down to that, it's probably going to be lights out for them. We have some bear mace and an air horn coming from Amazon, so that should hopefully hold them off! If those don't work, I'm breaking out my paintball gun and am going to get some practice.

wish us luck!
