Jul 30

been here 30 years, not new to have bears come around, usually I catch them before they get too close, but I was in the back of the house.

Good thing the cat freaked out lmao

I had the box fan in the window so that blocked him for a second. Then I grabbed it, turned it sideways and popped him right in the face!
RAWR! I am mountain woman! hear me raor!
