Sarah Palin and the Bear

Yes, folks it's true, Sarah Palin was in a small community on Halloween night. That community happened to be about two miles from us. Too bad that we didn't know it until the next morning. There was an article in our newspaper today that confirmed that she was here. Some of our parents from the preschool said that they know people who talked to her and have video footage of her. The biggest event in Dauphin history for sure! Now the thing is, she needed to be here tonight to shoot the bear (like she got her moose) that was in our back yard and on our back porch. Our community has had a terrible time with this bear and the wonderful game commission seems to think that it's all our fault and that residents must be feeding it because it keeps coming back. The game com. will not do anything about the bear. Instead they are telling us to put bird feeders away and don't let anything out that would attract the bear. There have been over 40 phone calls made about this bear and the good people at the game com. have already hung up on some that made the phone calls, yet they will fine you if you shoot it. I guess it's their way of making money. When we got home tonight, we heard something in the back yard and then I ran inside and grabbed the spotlight to see what I could see-a nice sized black bear leaving our yard/woods and heading up the hill to the neighbors. He so nicely destroyed our garbage and knocked over the wheelbarrow. That view of him wasn't good enough for me. My mom and I jumped in the car and drove around to find him. Didn't see him but saw the evidence of him rooting in the garbage cans along the way since tomorrow is garbage pick-up. I guess it's time to set up my dad's motion camera. Last time it was a racoon, this time a bear, what's next, Sarah Palin's lost moose?
