It finally happened. It's been almost happening for about a month now. By that I mean that we'd awaken around 1 or 2 AM to the clatter of our neighbors' trashcan being pushed over by... bears. We'd rouse ourselves with the hope that we'd actually be able to see one. We'd peer out first the bedroom window, then the dining room window, then the living room window. Nothing. Once or twice, we even ventured outside to the deck, a safe place because it's a whole story above the ground. No luck, no luck and more no luck.
But last night, it was finally different. There it was - a huge, maybe 800 pound large black bear dragging a trash bag into the woods. We could even see its nose in the light from the street lamps.
Back to bed, but then up again in about 30 minutes as it had returned, just as huge and hungry as before.
Who needs Netflix with bears outside your window??
