moses...
i was up on the russian river about two years ago. a black bear comes tearing out of the brush about twenty feet to my right. he ignores me and just takes off across the river. i was too stunned to move. and just stared after it. eventually i noticed a local named wilson hurridly packing his gear. he said "something scared the crap out of that bear, time to leave". as we reached the trucks, a grizzly the size of a schoolbus hits the river. he ignores us, and follows the black bear trail.
scary animals.
i figure what the world needs is a children's book telling the story of "Grizzly Man" from the bear's perspective. i cll it "Mr. Fwuffybuns".
