Chris Eldin said...: That is so cool!
Did you see any bears? Or are you feeding us a good yarn a little at a time?
:-)

Somebody complimented me on my hat on another blog. I told them you made it for me, and no, they can't have one too. :-); December 6, 2007 at 5:57 AM

A mother and baby bear were in the area, and he felt it would be wise for us to fix our muffler with him around. My husband got that thing reattached in, like, minutes. I was hugely impressed.; December 6, 2007 at 6:49 AM
Charles Gramlich said...: At least it didn't say "bear dining."; December 6, 2007 at 12:36 PM
Danette Haworth said...: Ha, Courtney! The ticks were worse.

Church Lady,
The only animals I saw were two squirrels and one banana spider large enough to be called an animal. My scream alerted all campers to the spider's whereabouts.

Mary,
"It would be wise . . ." YES IT WOULD!

Charles,
Ha! Yes, better to have a bear crossing than a bear dining!; December 6, 2007 at 1:46 PM
Madeleine said...: Very nice sign. I like how they have it down to the science of next 6 miles.; December 6, 2007 at 7:31 PM
Danette Haworth said...: Decaf,
Maybe the bears follow the signs: Oh, okay--this way.

There's a least one place that has a tunnel under the road; it was built for bears.; December 6, 2007 at 9:16 PM

Thoughts on Writing

"If the doctor told me I had six minutes to live, I'd type a little faster." --Isaac Asimov

"It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up, because by that time I was too famous." --Robert Benchley

"When writers meet, they are truculent, indifferent, or over-polite. Then comes the inevitable moment. A shows B that he has read something of B's. Will B show A? If not, then A hates B; if yes, then all is well." --Cyril Connolly

"Yes, it's hard to write, but it's harder not to." --Carl Van Doren

"Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead." --Gene Fowler

"I always write a good first line, but I have trouble writing the others." --MoliFre

"What no wife of a writer can ever understand is that a writer is working when he's staring out of the window." --Burton Rascoe

"Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else." --Gloria Steinem

"I love being a writer; what I can't stand is the paperwork." --Peter De Vries

"This morning I took out a comma and this afternoon I put it back in again." --Oscar Wilde

"I will tell you a story." --Jesus (Matthew 21:28, CEV)
