CAN WE BEAR IT?

NEWS FLASH:  There is a bear loose in Mesa Arizona. It managed to dodge the tranquilizing dart from the officers that were trying to capture it. Well, just a little comment on this news item.  Mesa is not normally the place a person would think of when a Bear is mentioned. And it is December, just a few short days before Christmas. Shouldn't said Bear be in a cave somewhere sound asleep? Well, I can only assume that is exactly where he was.  In a cave somewhere getting ready for a long winter's nap, when what to his wondering eyes should appear, but the Lost Dutchman's Mine that every one would like to hold dear. Cause the Bear was getting ready to sleep in a cave in the Superstition mountains, you see. So, why is he in Mesa? Well, as I said, it is nearly Christmas, and he just wants to take some of the found treasure and purchase a few things to make the cave a little more cozy for the family for Christmas and the winter nap.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it in THIS VIEW FROM THE DITCH BANK.
