So Yahoo! had this on it’s “Odd News” section today:
“A middle school teacher suffered some bruising and big scratch on his back after he struck a bear while riding his bicycle to school.”
What I really want to know is, was he doing 25mph UPHILL? (I think you all know how much I hate hills). I saw a deer the other day riding in to work, she was just leaping through the field as I rode by. I called out “good morning!” and she stopped and looked at me. That was a close-enough-encounter for me. Sure wish I’d had my camera, though.

I had a close encounter with a doe and her baby, a few weeks ago on Block Island. The mother came charging thru the hedges of the B & B where we were staying, and disappeared into the yard next door. A minute later, the little one showed up, looking kinda lost – I tried to point it in the right direction but it didn’t seem to understand my gesturing and I didn’t want to get too close. Poor thing – did you know that the little deer make a bleating noise, almost just like a lamb?

Wow, yeah, you don’t want them to think you intend the baby any harm. I did not know they made that sound, just tugs at your heartstrings. As if they’re not the cutest things alive anyway!
