Bears are looking for food

Last night I met my friend from high school at the Red Dog. It was wing night and very busy there. So, when I arrived there was no parking left except out back by the dumpster. Not thinking anything about the dumpster, I parked beside it ad went in. Melissa and I had a great time catching up. We talked for over 3 hours. Then when it was time to get going home the waitress came up to me and asked if that was my car by the dumpster. She says oh great...you can't leave.....the police are coming. What the police are coming? Yes..because there was a mama bear right at my car and her 2 baby cubs had climbed up the tree beside the dumpster. So, we wait for the police to come. The bears are not moving. The police come and it's still not safe for us to leave. The waitress then tells us the the police would like to escort me to my car even though the bears are still there. My very intelligent friend then asks the waitress to ask the police to to move my car out front. To my surprise, they actually agreed to do it. I was very thankful..because you don't ever want to mess with a mama bear and her cubs. So, I made it home safely. This is just a reminder to all that the bears are out there, so be careful and make sure you have your fruit picked off your trees and your garbage locked away so the bears can't get at them.
