ellyssianJustin saw the bear today, up close and personal-like.
He was taking stuff out to the compost bin. The bear was mauling the trash cans in the driveway next door.
When they moved in, I gave two pieces of advice:
1) Keep your trash inside or the bear will be attracted to it and destroy your trash barrels
2) Buy a cheap mower for the first few years, until all the rocks the builder trucked in as "topsoil" are out of the way, otherwise you'll destroy your mower
Well, he used his expensive mower once. I forget whether the rock just destroyed the blade, or if it damaged the pretty new mower as well. He's complained about the bear messing with the trash, but still leaves it outside and brings it down to the curbside the night before (it's not supposed to be out earlier than 6:30am, but very few people obey that rule).
I think I might have to speak with him again. If he wants to leave the barrels outside, I'd rather they were kept on the other side of the house, so the bear isn't surprised 30-40 feet away when we're in our driveway.
