A Sweet Tale to Share

We were chatting with a friend on the dock, (he is an architect and has a log cabin in Lake Tahoe) about the land we have further north, with a view to possible designs, when he relayed that we should take BEARS seriously.

His story of one event is as follows:

he returned home with his Golden Retriever one day;  on opening the front door he was greeted by the sight of a huge bear sitting in the center of his living room floor tipping back a large container of Splenda (sugar substitute).  The dog went into the attack, the bear jumped up, tub of Splenda under one arm(leg) and pushed out of the doorway on the other three legs.  Our friend and the dog were possibly saved from a mauling by a swipe from the bear's huge paw, by the fact that one of the front paws was fully occupied holding onto his booty the other used for running, the dog gave chase biting at his heels, but the bear wanted to save the Splenda and ran off into the forest. 

Next day our friend found the empty container, not far from the house, just on the edge of the forest where the bear had sat and finished his prize of sugar substitute!

We will be taking BEARS into account with a little more seriousness in our future project plans!
