Feet and Shopping Woes

  Went to Elmira yesterday for Christmas shopping. Why oh why do we even do that? After much misery, we ended up in downtown Corning, happily meandering through the antique shops. We had to be home by 3 to take a test drive in an unmarked, undercover police vehicle for sale, but that's another story. (We didn't buy it.)
I like the reflection on the hood
Right after we passed them, some dumbsh*t truck roared passed them and us going way too fast. Since I'm not Amish, I could secretly hope that it would spin out and crash from it's own stupidity.
I tried to time it so the buggy and caution sign were aligned
Slightly humanoid bear track--Go to sleep, goofus, it's winter!
I think these are cat tracks passing the bear's.
I stepped out last night to refill the cat food for whoever needs it. This morning-looks like the cat showed up, along with a little birdie . See how similar mine are to the bear?
The bear tracks first show up near the coal pile, then come towards the house(pretty close!) and then turn and go all the way down the drive to the ditch. I can't find them after that, so it must have crossed the road before they plowed it. At times it's stride was almost 4 feet. Maybe a teen age bear that doesn't have the common sense to know when to go to sleep.

  1. Or that if you go to sleep at a reasonable time, you can wake up on your own, feeling refreshed (Lindsey), perhaps in the spring. Ha.

    1. However, a bear probably has enough sense not to eat $150 worth of Gummi worms in 14 weeks.

  2. Gummi has to stay in business somehow.
