Git r done, NC.

That's funny.
When verbal communication fails.... Use firewood!

That story reminded me of this one.

That was definitely a lucky smack. People have shot bears in the head without obtaining the desired results.

I have had the unfortunate education of learning what can happen to an automatic transmission case when it encounters a chunk of firewood in the middle of the roadway at 50 MPH.

I learned what a chunk of firewood can do to a rim and tire at 60 mph plus or minus. I did manage to swerve a little bit though.

Wait until you are following a logging truck, in a Chevy Vega no less, in the middle of the night and the logs decide to bail out in front of you. Now that‰Ûªs fun!

1983 Chevrolet Impala southbound meets northbound log truck with two rolling off into my lane. Drove through the west ditch, overcorrected, spun out into east ditch and was stopped by first tree in big tree row hitting the driver's door. March 1986. No serious injury but the Impala needed some attention.

A tumbling length of 2x4 in my lane punched a hole in my gas tank...heavy traffic so couldn't dodge it and didn't think it would cause damage...a lucky shot.

I think I'll learn how to throw logs, and go bear hunting. Maybe if I have enough beers I'll think I can throw one @ 50mph.

I'm not so sure one couldn't throw a bolt of firewood at a bear with superhuman force. You know, the adrenaline factor. Face to face with a bear is probably one of the most adrenaline charging things that can happen to a human....

....other than Patsy Ann Miller's mother coming home from work early one afternoon in 1968....whew!..talk about adrenaline...

Clothing CAN be reinstalled where it's supposed to be in a flash if the situation is desperate.

Tabloid news that amuses Brits. And surveyors.

I guess the news interest is mug shot of the bruises that he received.

Anyway, now that this sequed into
Bear encounters...the last bear encounter that I witnessed was when
I was in the Dunkin Donuts drive-thru lane early one morning on Rt. 23 in New Foundland NJ. There was a pretty yuge bear that was dumpster diving and had no interest in me.

If I remember correctly, I think he used the word miraculous during his interview with local news. If a bear coming after your boy does not get your adrenaline pumping, I don't think anything would. Parenthood expands your boundaries in all areas.

I don't consider it odd, I view it as a part of the rich padgentry of human life. 😎

I hope the old girlfriend sees this article.
