That’s good.
(SR) Oh yes. The first summer we had a little cabin. I was so proud of all my new things from the showers and things, you know. I did a washing and, of course, we had to put the line way up because the snow was so high. I hung these things out and I looked out to admire them, and what do you know, a great big bear was pulling each thing off the line, like that. I tell you.
Then, another time, I wasn’t quite acclimated to the altitude and I was kind of drowsy during the afternoons and I thought I would take a little nap since I had nothing to do. At first, I thought I’d better think about dinner. So I made a big bowl of Jell-O and right outside the window the snow was level, and that was nice place to cool it. I put this big bowl out there and took my nap. I got up and I thought I would see how m Jell-O is. Not a thing in the bowl! Not one drop.
Another time that really was kind of frightening I was just opening the house and we had a little closet way in the back, where you had a closet and a refrigerator. We always put the little pail of garbage outside and the garbage man came by and picked it up. Now that the lodge had closed for the season and there was no big garbage pit where a beer would go, we had to be careful because if we put that out a bear would rummage in it. So I kept it right inside the door until I saw you coming and I’d reach out and give it to you. This day, I guess didn’t close the door too well. I went to put my mop in this mop closet and faced a bear; eye to eyeball, and it wasn’t a very big place. He had come in, and turned around, and shut the door on himself.
Was it a full-grown one?
(SR) Yes, a full-grown one.
