Just had a big grizzly bear walk over the knoll about a hundred yards away from us, while we were out playing with the dogs and working in the yard. The dogs wanted to go chase it, we had to yell quite a bot to get them inside and grab the gun. The bear didn't go anywhere until I shot at it, and then stopped every 50 yards to look back at us.

I bet that's what the dogs have been barking at every night. Probably coming down to the pond to drink.


[Edit]

There was another, smaller bear on the other knoll that just ran off. Probably a sow and a yearling.

Damn man you gotta be careful with those things that close.

[Frumple]

grind their bones to make your... breard?

For some reason that portmanteau is mildly discomforting to even look at

"Well damn dude, you didn't have to shoot at me."

Road on the interstate on the way home had some kind of... strip of damaged/different/clearly-out-of-place-material that made the wheels on the car make some kind of hellish grinding noise, kinda' like someone was taking a friggin' belt sander to the car or somethin'.

Scared the hell out of me for the bit of time it took to figure out that it wasn't, in fact, my car coming apart underneath me, just shoddy infrastructure making a racket.

[Lord Shonus]

That may well have been a pavement experiment. You see long stretches of clearly different pavement all over the place - they want to see how a proposed new material handles traffic and weather.

[Frumple]

It... could be? Didn't look like it, though, it wobbled all over the street and for more than just one or two miles. Also wasn't a large strip... looked like maybe as wide as a dollar bill, something like that. If I had to guess, it'd be that something or another dragged along the pavement for a long ways, or something along those lines.

... but it could be intentional, sure. Whoever decided to do it should be beat about the head and shoulders with a bundle of sticks, because the sound it's causing is pretty bloody horrible.

[Mech#4]

It's not like those rumble strips they have along the sides of freeways is it? They're used to keep drivers alert if they're veering off the road.

[Frumple]

Nah, not even a little. It wasn't along the side of the road, it was right in the middle of it (and everywhere else; like said, it meandered all across the interstate). Kinda' like the line a garbage truck can leave behind it if it's leaking, just... not liquid. Looked similar to that, even, except again, going over it with your tires made a sound similar to a bloody belt sander. If it wasn't an intentional thing, it was road damage of some sort.

"Is he following me?"

[looks back]

"He's just standing there... Menacingly..."

Sounds like it might be a poor attempt at a patch for a crack in he pavement.

Ayyy who wants brain worms

I've met people that I'd swear had brain worms.
