    After I posted this, I went outside to shoo a deer out of the yard. 6 other deer popped up out of the briar hedge to the left of where the bear is in the photo above. I expect they had been there the whole time. The bear could probably smell them. I should have given him 10 more minutes before moving him along with the air horn.

Now, aside from the fact that I would probably shit my shorts and not be able to think in a real world situation I figure I should at least have some idea in case I am ever in a real situation.

    I had read that a brown bear has a pronounced hump on its shoulders and that a black bear has a rump that is higher.

    However, when I am looking at that picture in the calm of my living room I can not for the life of me figure out if it has a hump or a higher rump. So, in the real world I would be in trouble big time.

    But, what kind of bear is it in your expert bear identification knowledge so I can better prepare myself. If I was riding in your hood, what would I do to make it safely to Goldilock’s house?

    Tom is correct of course. We don't have brown bears in the east. The closest grizzly bears, a sub-species of the North American brown bear, are in Yellowstone and the Rockies in Montana. Black bears can be brown though, so you may see a brown bear that is actually a black bear, not a grizzly.

    My basic principle is to make a lot of noise and remove myself from the situation. Each bear I've run into this year has reacted correctly to loud noises - they've all run away. I think you are in trouble if you get a bad bear. This bear seems to like to visit houses and wander around in yards, so he has the potential to become a less good bear. I do have an air horn with me whenever I am outside. It is really loud. I don't take trash or compost out at night. I always have a flashlight when I step out onto the porch at night. Black bears are really hard to see at night. Like their fur just absorbs light.

    Bear rugs are actually pretty nice. I can see why bears wear them.

    Winter crud catcher made out of driveway stakes the plow broke last winter. Don't throw it away if you can make something out of it.

    I just saw a flock of those guys up in some hawthorn trees eating the haws. The trees are not so large so it didn't really look like a fair fight.

    Very cool experience this evening. My artist wife put on a horsehair pottery workshop. Pottery is fired with a special glaze, and while hot, horse hair or feathers are burned on the pot's side, leaving patterns. Some people brought hair from deceased pets or horses to create a memorial. The Navajo and Hopi create pottery in this style, and we have a nice collection from some friends that live in the Nation.
