My brother and some 2nd cousins had a bear encounter. At some point when they were .. I want to say one summer in high school but I can't remember exactly when it was..at least when my brother was still in high school they decided to go hike along the Appalachian Trial and the plan was for them to get dropped off, the cousins' parents would then go and vacation and meet up with them at some designated point.
What happened is a couple of days into their hike they stopped at a shelter and had their stuff outside, one cousin was napping out there and all the sudden a bear showed up-- my cousin ran into the shelter and they stayed their while the bear tore threw and ate all of their food etc and destroyed their packs and stuff.
So then they had to hike back to the closest point where they could find a phone to call and arrange to be picked up.
I think their 2 week adventure ended up lasting like 5 days total.
I went to my first public event in forever last night, a small showing of
Next to Normal
that my crush was the male lead in. Quarters were closer than I'd have liked, but everyone was good about wearing masks and the person nearest me was a friend whose restaurant I buy take-out from, so if he's got the 'rona I'm screwed regardless. It was really enjoyable, the leading lady was great and sang her heart out on some of those songs.
In a weird coincidence it turned out to be my crush's birthday, so asking him if he had any plans after the show was a non-starter. But hey, I still got to see him in his underwear (along with the rest of the audience).
Woo for cutie underwear sighting!
My dad had a bear encounter when he was a kid. There were wild blueberries near the farm, and Dad went out to pick some. He saw a black bear eating them and decided the bear wanted them more than he did.
Well M's mom is back home so we are back to tvs constantly going and phone calls on speaker phone.
I didn't realize how much more relaxed I am around with it quiet until it's gone.
I'm sorry, askye. Do you have noise canceling headphones or something? Quiet is something to be valued for sure.

Like in Blueberries for Sal!
Timelies all!
Haven't encountered any bears here, just deer and the occasional coyote.
Also, new baby giant panda at the Zoo here!
I saw the baby panda! My sister called it a late in life surprise baby panda.
That whole panda baby thing is a trip!
I'm annoyed that I forgot Everything Bagel topping the last time I went to Trader Joe's, but it's probably not worth the 2 mile walk just for that. Or I suppose I could just buy the ingredients next time I go to the regular supermarket. I'm going to make this tart, and it's going to use up what I have, I'm afraid. [link]
