I've been long in waiting for my black furred friends to reconquer the Western fringe of our nightmare civilization. The day is dawning.
I don't know, the bear didn't even manage to take out the driver. Were there passengers at least? The bears have to think bigger if their gonna win. They just don't have the population numbers to go man for man.
ReplyDeleteThis was just a baby. It is a sign that more are coming, or may already be here. I don't think they need to hurt anybody. We merely need the promise of their presence in the woods and hills beyond to remind us that we are mortal, and that there are creatures that could tear us to pieces. The opportunity to be frightened by something not of our own creation is a very comforting thing.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Help Save Loudoun will turn its ire from Hispanics to Smokeys because undocumented bears are eating up the animal control budget and leaving trash on the streets and in yards. They're cutting in line in front of the bears that have sought to come here legally as members of the Red Apple Circus in the Dulles Town center parking lot.
