Bear Stuff 4/4

I'm going off topic. This happens to me when I overthink. I'm not hibernating for now. I'd better leave it at that. Wise bears say that only fools rush in, but I'm no fool — I'm just getting a bit

Some & Any

I have a sore big toe. A woman stepped on my foot this morning as I was walking into a store. I let out a big "ouch" and looked at her, not with any particular intention —just to give her a dead
