Last night when I came home, there was a mama bear and two cubs on the porch two houses away from my home. The cubs (this year's) were really cute little bundles of black fur and bright eyes but, sad to say, Mama was trying to make off with a bag of garbage that the homeowner had left out. And there comes the next generation of garbage bears...

If we people could learn to keep our garbage to ourselves, we wouldn't have a bear problem in Juneau. As we say here, 'A fed bear is a dead bear' but even now some people don't take it seriously.
