Guys. Guys. I just heard that for two nights in a row, a bear has been spotted only a few streets away from me. You and I both know what I must do. Tell my family I loved them, just not as much as I loved squishing the ears of a wild bear.
Ah tis the wonderful point in the year when there are white tufts floating in the air, and it's 50/50 if they are snow or pollen. Misery roulette, shivers or sneezes edition!
