She’s coming, but no match to my Sicilian wife and mother of my children who worked ceaselessly to put the fear of God into them. One has a license plate which says “NO EXCUSE.”
My favorite bear story, learned from a park ranger: Q: How do you tell a black/brown bear from a grizzly bear? A: Climb a tree. If it’s a black or brown bear it will climb up after you. If it’s a grizzly bear it will knock the tree down.
(Note: black/brown bears have large claws and are good climbers. Grizzly bears don’t climb but are very strong and can easily knock down small trees.)
A tour guide in Alaska explained if we have no choice but to run from a bear (the last resort) to run downhill. The bear’s short fore legs and long hind legs make it unstable downhill.
Two men being chased by a Grizzly: the one says to the other, “It’s no use running. We know he can run faster than us.” The other says, “No problem; I know I can run faster than you.”

It’s more dangerous than a bear—it’s an angry MOM!

Wow! I love the way Calvin writes the head lines for his own demise. What a ‘Hollywood’.

I used to not realize what “parents saved the trouble meant” when I was younger. Now I know.
