Bears are a constant topic of conversation in Tahoe.? Great effort is put forward to educate new customers, as well as to rehabilitate long-timers and residents, of the importance of safety, storage of trash properly and other bears.? Rightly so.
That said, there are fun moments that we share with bears - and these moments opportunities humorous to make fun of ourselves and to share with others. which raises this post.
At the end of the working day yesterday, I made a straight line to one of my favorite trail on the west shore of Tahoe.? From my running at 18, I knew that I would have just enough daylight to make it back to the car without a projector.? What a beautiful evening!?? My route was lined with wildflowers, immense cedar and juniper trees, waterfalls and placid mountain lakes bordered by pure granite cliffs.? With a mile left to run and about half an hour of daylight remaining, I felt pure endorphin-induced relaxation.
The last mile is a long, straight, Sandy double track, which allows you to see far into the distance for a runner or Walker.? And this is where the next 12 seconds becomes funny.
Distant move me along the trail of sand was a 400-pound male bear.? It's business. Not just any business with me; He was just with whatever it is.? My presence at this point was under him.? No time for me.? It looked like a stuffed business exec to schedule. He double-timing down the Embarcadero, while checking his iPhone: I have a meeting in 20 minutes.? I'm never late.? Never.? Out of my way, people.? Immediately.
Anyone reading this can relate to an acquaintance in the street of spying you want to see.? If you come up with some crappy attempt to avoid him.? You do not like that person; you do not want to face.? It is that I felt upon seeing the business Exec. Bear.? So as far as I know how to alert a bear to my presence, that was my train brilliant thought at this time?? Serra's teeth and shaking my fists as a surly troll, keeping a bridge, I whistled in anguish to myself: ' shit!? I stood there, have a mini tantrum. ?It was between me and my car. and I was between him and its maintenance.
I know: I'll hide behind the Bush.? He will never even know I'm here and it will just walk and I won't even say 'Hi '.
Yeah.? Pleasant.? In wasting a whole five seconds to design a stupid idea, Business-Exec. Bear was now approximately 60 metres of bumping in me (he was still unconscious).? Finally, I latched on a few remaining cells of the logic that swim around in my endorphins.? In addition, adrenaline had now happened to part of my brain.? My following thoughts:
Great.? It's just we two... I don't want to be nasty... God, this is quite awkward.? I have to say something.
Then I walked into the middle of the trail, whipped my hand to wave and said 'Hi!? HI THERE! ".? Affairs-Exec. Bear stopped abruptly.? He stretched his neck as if to get a better look on which hell Howled in his direction, thinking to himself: who is this klutz waving?? I know him?? OMG, I totally do not remember his name... I'll just pretend that I do not know that she speaks for me and go in a different direction.
And off he went. ? Ultimately, Business-Exec. Bear did not deal with me more that I didn't want to deal with him.? It was simply more honest with her feelings and simply shortened track.
We were mutually cool with it.? See you next time, Business-Exec. Bear.
