I just learned a neighbor spotted a bear rummaging in his garbage cans, then he headed into our backyard. No wonder the dogs have caught a scent they want to explore. Now I have to be careful of walking the mutts late at night, just in case they offend our bear. Like is interesting.

"bear"

Good grief! Be careful, and don't walk the dogs at night outside the range of your yard/porch lights. I'm really glad we don't have any bears here.

Yikes! You may want to start carrying a big stick. That way, you can trade it for one of your dogs, if the bear grabs them. The bear will be unable to refuse the offer to speak softly and carry a big stick. ;)

i slept in til 7:30, which felt great, and took the van to be inspected. xshub pointed out to me last night that it had expired in April and i have gone 2 weeks without a cop noticing me. i broke from my normal rule of him doing all the car stuff. i didn't mind getting up and going bc first thing it is usually pretty quick, and it was. it is a very pretty cool and sunny day here. xshub casually mentioned that the van also needed an oil change and i said you are out of your mind, i do NOT do oil changes. inspections, fine. anything else is his job.
