Nighty-night, Buttons. Good luck tomorrow – sending lots of good vibes! Actually, October will not be much better than September, but all these great TDK vibes certainly help. Pretty sure they kept my head above water in September.
There’s so much news about bears lately! The fatal attack a few miles from my home was very rare. Still waiting on results of the necropsy, but my thought is that the bear may have been sick. They are hungry this time of year, foraging and getting ready to hibernate, but the latest statement is that the group did nothing to provoke it. They did run from it, which you are not supposed to do, but it seems the bear was already following them, and they probably didn’t know – the group was not from around here. Folks around here are a bit rattled, but it’s common to see them and we must learn to co-exist with them. The last time I saw a bear in my yard was early in the summer. Tomorrow is garbage day, but the can, which is washed often, won’t have the kitchen garbage in it till tomorrow morning.
Oh, and I’ve said this before, but used kitty litter is a great bear deterrent. Saw one breaking into my garbage years ago; it got as far as the bag with the litter in it, grunted, and moved on!
