So, I posted over in Bitches, but no one seems to be there right now. Either that, or they just don't care that I saw a bear today, in the wild. Ok, I was in a car, but the bear was in the wild. And it wasn't just a brief flash. He kind of sauntered along the road towards us while we frantically rolled up our windows. It was just a black bear, but it was the biggest black bear I've seen that wasn't stuffed. Also, we were through with our hike, so it worked out perfectly!

Hmm. A mimosa sounds good.

Perhaps it wanted a bellini, too.

Possibly. I must admit that I'm not sure what a bellini is, but it was pretty warm here today, so if it's cool....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
libkitty, I can't process seeing a bear in the not-quite (since you were driving) wild. They're deepest darkest forest or zoo to me.
I lived in Canada. Hell, I live in California. It shouldn't be that way.
Okay. Will prep to leave for shopping. Mimosa fixings for 10 chicks--three bottles of sparkling wine, you think?

A bear, libkitty? Does Stephen Colbert know about this!?

We need to hold a Chicago'istas Welcome Shrift type event.
That would be cool.
Okay, so the pizza place I ordered from called to tell me they were having problems with their ovens, and would I mind thin crust instead? I told 'em to send it along. As an apology for the delay, they also tossed in half a cake. I was all "Woo, SCORE!" until I accidentally dropped some sausage, and the roommate's cat pounced on it and made scary gremlin noises.
I may need backup.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I want to see a bear. And a moose. Not necessarily at the same time.
The Brangelina baby is supposedly named Shiloh Nouvel.
I can just imagine the reactions of his family to that name.
the roommate's cat pounced on it and made scary gremlin noises.
Don't feed it after midnight.

Within a few months here, I had seen one across the street from the 11-story building where I work, but it was pretty young and scared and injured. Poor thing. It climbed a tiny tree that looked like it wouldn't hold a monkey. They drove a pickup truck underneath it and darted it and it fell right into the truck. I think they fixed his paw and took him somewhere remote to release him. I tell myself this, anyway.
This guy was nothing like that. He was pretty darn big.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Totally.
My schedule is pretty open the next few weeks.
I saw a bear cub cross the road. While I was driving an old Ford Escort through Ontario. It was a hot summer day, and the car tended to overheat. It also was hard to start when it was overheating.
I decided just to keep on going, as I didn't think the car could protect me that well if I got between the cub and its mommy....
