There’s a Bear In The Woods

There’s bear shit on the path.

Here I am, hiking in these beautiful, wild woods, following a trail that’s been around for generations, and there’s bear shit right where I was going to put my left foot.

If it was my bear, I would train it to shit somewhere else. Anywhere else, actually, than right in the middle of the path.

I should make a sign that says “No bears shitting here”.

I should find the bear and give it a piece of my mind. It has to learn how wrong it was, for leaving this shit here.

Or I could keep going and ignore this shit.

A big, brown bear who would rather not talk about its shit.
