Last night I saw a black bear for the first time in the wild. Had to have been the size of a large Shepard. Maybe a Great Dane. It devoured the previous tenant’s trash like it was nothing. Ripping apart the bags without a care in the world. Ate pancake mix and frozen vegetables.

Theres something about seeing a wild carnivores animal that puts you on edge. High alert for another chance encounter. The possibility that it will mosey it’s way…
