In college I worked about every job in the world. One summer I worked for a logger and we were cutting trees that were killed by the gypsy moth and marked for removal by the state forest service. Rugged area of Pennsylvania, lots of rattlesnakes and lots of bears.

I always brough a jar of peanut butter with me. First I love the stuff and it is high in energy and you need it doing that non stop work for sure.

Well I took a break and walked back to the landing to have some peanut butter and bread. There sitting on a log was a big big black bear. He opened my lunch box, popped the lid off my peanut butter and was just licking away. He had peanut butter on his nose, ears, paws .. Needless to say he was welcome to it, I wasn't going to argue. I sat there watching him only maybe 20 yards away. He licked that thing clean then wiped his ears with his paws like a cat does, carry off the jar into the woods .. funnies thing I ever saw. Man it was all over his face ... great great encounter. Never paid me any mind, just enjoyed himself. Oh he also ate a whole loaf of bread too. He opened the bread like a human, wrapper wasn't even torn, dumped out the whole loaf on the ground and ate it all. Thank goodness he didn't want my big bottle of coke cola to wash it all down with.
