Bear incident serves as cautionary case
When an angler on the Stillwater River near Beehive came face to face with a black bear last week, it’s likely that both human and bruin startled one another. The bear swatted the man’s face and immediately ran off. And the angler, who sustained non-life-threatening injuries, chose not to seek medical attention.
Two cups of tea: Respond with compassion
Driving to an appointment in Billings, I exited the interstate and prepared to turn left onto the street that would take me to my destination. Standing there where the exit intersected the road was a scruffy looking fellow with a crudely made cardboard sign. I expected it to say something like “Will work for food” or “Stranded. Trying to get to Kalamazoo.” Instead I saw “Ninjas stole my families need for karate lessons.” Stunned, I noticed the driver of the car behind me had rolled down the window and was engaging the man in conversation. The light turned green and I drove on, puzzled.
