I sort of consider Tuesday to be my weekly dead-line for posting to Struggling With Lucidity. Of course, I can be early, but if inspiration hasn’t struck me, then I’ve been forcing myself to write an entry when Tuesday rolls around. Obviously today is no exception, except that I had two topics to discuss only I’ve completely forgotten what one of them was, and the other is still fermenting.

The bear was back this morning, and I got to see it. The bird feeder got left out again which prompted his return. Ali saw him while he was standing on his back legs to get at the feeder, and she came and woke me up so I could see. He had already begun his retreat by the time I got to the window, and there was no way I could make it to the basement to retrieve the camera before he was gone. It was a black bear about 3 feet tall on all fours and wide.In other news, we have been making progress on the house hunting front. We have a candidate house that we may be making an offer on this weekend. Check it out and let us know what you think.
