More bear stories

The Mayor had lunch in Mill Valley, that infamous village in marvelous Marin County. It was a signature day: sun shining in every nook and cranny, locals running about as though it were summer and not the middle of winter. The Square was filled to over flowing. Tyler Florence' boutique was busy as shoppers went in to inspect high priced French cookware of copper and stainless steel.
I met four cousins at Piazza D'Angelo for brunch. We sat outside, but within range of their portable heaters. My cousin Bill, brought an old family album and we all commented about the various aunts and uncles and cousins on vacations, at holiday parties, and just hanging out. My cousin Jimmie, who has a cabin near Sunnyside told of visits by the bruins. Seems they broke through a side window and helped themselves to stored foodstuffs. He now has an alarm system in place and no more break-ins. His near neighbor told even a better story: the bears broke in, ripped cabinets off the walls, ate everything and then climbed the stairs and ------crawled into bed for a nice nap, that was undisturbed!!!!!! You gotta lov'em.
These events happened 3 years ago before the culling of the offenders from the neighborhood. They were getting pretty bold. Incidentally, the bear(s) went through the front door, knocking it off the hinges. When you're hungry-you're hungry! We also talked about the old homestead at 7th & Pine sts, Tahoma. The cabins are still there, but definitely need some upkeep. Current owners are not in a mood to spend much money, not in this economy.
Weather forecasts indicate the white stuff could be coming, maybe by Monday. We need some, it's been too long for this time of year.
Don't feed the bears!
