At least, I thought I saw a bear. It was right out front under the Squirrel Tree. I saw it from the corner of my eye. So I looked again...but there was no bear. And there shouldn't have been a bear. We don't have bears here. So I don't know why I should see that shadow and think "A bear!" At least I didn't think I saw an elephant...

Better to see a bear that isn't there, than to not see a bear that is there.

@JolietJake Bears hardly ever time travel, but they do have difficulty staying balanced on one point in time due to their exceptionally large paws and head to rump weight ratio. I wouldn't be surprised if a bear was there at some point in time and he simply fell off.

Just because I thought I saw a bear there when there was no bear does not mean a bear was not there at some point in time...

I just mentioned him to pgn actually. He stills pops in and gives my discussion a 'like' on occasion, but neither he nor MissyBear have posted for quite some time.

@JolietJake lol that's true...now an elephant sitting on a branch eating corn would be a sight to see..of course it would have to be a pretty big branch...

A bear of little brain? Is baring your 3am soul on myLot wise? This could happen (30mins of radio buffoonery, you have been warned!) :

I'm just not really sure why my mind said 'bear' when I know we don't have any...and Lord help us if the raccoons start getting THAT big

The bear that wasn't! Maybe it was "just a silly man who needs a shave and wears a fur coat"

Hope it was a mind trick or something because having bears around kinda sound dangerous.
