Paul,
   now that's a great cabin/bear story! But, while we are at tall tales, =
can black bears really take up residence under a camp? I assumed  they =
wander around their territory, sleeping here and there, and then den for =
the winter....=20

  Hi Dusan and anyone else who should like to read
  this little Bear and Cabin story.
  A number of years ago I move to a new community
  at this time of the year. Didn't know any of the neighbours and
  as I was busy at work hadn't a lot of time for social things.
  One day that fall, a neighbour an elderly fellow with lots of =
relations
  killed a bear. It had taken up residence under his camp and broke in=20
  whenever it felt like it. The fellow told me he was nervous to stay =
there so
  killed the bear although he preferred if he didn't have to.
  They had dressed the bear nicely and it was on a trailer before =
cutting up the
  meat and a crowd had gathered to look at it so I joined them.
  After a bit I said to the fellow "Did you weigh it?"
  "Oh yes" he said "It weighs 325 lbs"
  I pretended I didn't hear good so said "Did you say 225 lbs?"
  "No No " he said "325"!
  Years went by and the community especially him and his family were =
always
  very nice and if we needed help they were always right there.
  About 25 years latter I was at the mail box one day and the fellow was =
also there.
  He said "My health is not good and my time may be short on this earth. =
So in
  order not to have to explain to St Peter why I lied to you I have a =
confession to make!"
  It kind of took me back - nothing I knew of needed a confession so I =
just said "What"
  He said "Remember the bear ? " Yes I did
  "well when you said 225 lbs I had lied - I hadn't weighed the bear"
  "So that evening I took it to a scale - it weighed 223 lbs"
  "Now " he said " I can go in peace!"
  So the bear and the cabin made things very pleasant for me for a long =
time!
  Have a nice summer
  Paul
