Unfortunately
I have a way of doing that. I also predicted that if W was elected we'ld have an environmental disaster in this country, gas prices would go through the roof, and war in the Middle East, and later, that if we took out Saddam, Iraq would degenerate into civil war...
All of which was mild compared to what actually happened.
The bear thing will get worse before it gets better.
Now that I think of it...so will everything else.
Wow
I thought it was something seeing a couple deer east of Lovell Road last week . . .

bear in old city
Imagine coming out of a bar drunk and being face to face with a bear.
Bearden bear
I saw on the news last night that the bear had been spotted in Bearden backyards for the past month.
I am wondering if it made it to the Old City in the back of a prankster's pickup truck, considering all the controversy about the bear sculpture and all.
