Um.....didn't I read about a bear sighting at
Hemlock acres right here in ROFF within the last week or so?


that was by Frank, and he was on his third beer by then, and thus,
unreliableg....along with his, there have only be two sightings in about 5
weeks!

Hmmm, before I even mentioned it to Rudy, he stated that they'd not seen
a bear in 5 weeks and that one showed up Thursday evening in the same
area I spotted him (i.e. the tenting area). I wasn't that far into the
cups (yet) when he ran through there.

Well, OK, but that begs the question, "How far do you have to be into
the cups to start seeing things?"

Rudy, by the way, blamed the bears on me. He's reading ROFF now. He
knew Tom and I were coming up so he unplugged the bear fence to ensure
we had some good stories.

Oh, sure, blame it on some poor lurker...I'll bet y'all were seeing rock
bears, wood bears, leaf bears, shadow bears, and tree bears, amongst
others...

By the way, Rudy, you're slippin'. Steve used to bring out some women's
volleyball team from that little, podunk school over in State College
whilst the ROFFians were in town. Work on it.

Um, careful what you ask for...

Whatdayaknow...my SO was offered a scholarship to Penn State (volleyball
and track, IIRC AND scholastic) as well as where she ultimately went
(but she did especially like the School of Journalism there)...and SOME
of you guys would probably be safer hoping for the bear to show up
instead of the team...
