Bear

We went to Blackburg to visit Josh and Gwen while Gwen's dad and his partner Julie were there. On the way back to the Farm at twilight, a bit west of Willis, I saw a black cow in  the road.
Hm, rather short cow.
It's a bear!
I flickd my headlights a few times to alert the car coming the other way, and came to a stop. The bear  was just standing in the road, unconcerned. He ambled into the right lane, stood there for a bit as if wondering "I came over here for something...what was it?", then turned back to the left lane. I eased the car forward a bit, and he slipped into the woods.
I know we've had a bear at the Farm but this is the first time I've seen one in person outside a zoo.
