bear walks by 10 feet away

This morning taking a smoke break from shoveling fill where the prior owners let it erode away.A nice chubby bear of 350/400 lb range walked right by me his face smeared with crapola,Mondays are garbage pick up days here! So sighting usually happen on Sunday night or Monday mornings when weekenders are nice enough to have left a smelly smorgasborg out overnight to entice them.I don't know if he even saw me ,five minutes earlier and he would have passed inches from my butt sticking out from under the front deck where I was doing erosion control work.I say HE because when he got near the first thing I thought was "damn ,I hope there ain't no cubs trailing behind!" Although since I had Maggies camp stool under me to swing at him,I figured he'd be in awe of my overwhelming raw power,speed and endurance while peeing and pooping all over myself!LOL.Seriously it was a real treat to have him come lumbering past so close I could hear him huffing and puffing.Living in the woods you have to expect the unexpected I quess!
