Apparently, I Blogged too soon

Two nights ago, a juvenille black bear who lives in the Delaware Water Gap area hit the car I was riding in. I have no explaination for this, and I must admit that I have a hard time working it out in my head myself, but that bear ran right into Afton's passenger door, and upon leaving the Blairstown Inn, our favorite drinking hole with A-Treat birch beer on tap, we saw the true extent of the damage. There was no mailbox nor trash can. It was a bear. Today I am actually taking photos of the place where I live, hooray! Especially my garden, which grows quite well these days. I'm spending all day in ipod land and cleaning and organizing. Best three days off ever. Except for that bear thing.

This is a very serious post.

So this week I've seen speckled and spotted salamander, also a rabid raccoon and my first bear, dozing in a tree. This morning one of my co's Nancy spotted a bear in the tree by the dining hall, about 200 feet away, which we soon realized was a mama and two adorable monkeyesque cubs, wreaking havoc on this poor tree! It was lovely! And that's the latest news on this end!
