Did you post this for the headline?
I guess the bear was multi-tasking. Fighting cancer and mauling a woman.
A hyphenated first and last name—that takes the cake.
So it was two against one, eh?
Winner for today’s headline participation award.
We have these things called guns…

Sounds like an overt warning to the voters in Virginia.
If she and her family live in Orinda, they are likely very wealthy. Orinda is a beautiful city, lush with trees, rolling hills and well maintained streets. Sort of a bedroom community for the well heeled, many of whom commute to San Francisco for their jobs. Lafayette and Walnut Creek are similar. Housing a little lower priced.
She has to remember that area in the Tahoe region belonged to the Bears long before any rent cottages were built on it.
Many such areas were reclaimed by the beasts during the first lockdown. Fewer vacation renters. The animals don’t know the lockdown is over.
AND a Dutch “Von” thrown in, too.
The only thing better would be if she were Spanish and had six or seven given names.
A couple of buddies and I briefly looked at joint real estate investing in 1973. We got serious about a house in Orinda, but it was $99,000, a bit beyond our price range for an investment rental unit. Sigh. Woulda, shoulda, coulda.
“The scary part is [the bear] will do it again,” she said. “And he’ll come to our house again because he knows there’s food in it. This is a dangerous bear.”
Get yourself a lever-action 45-70, and when he comes back, make him deceased. You’d get a lovely bear robe, a large quantity of bear grease, teeth and claws for necklaces, and I’m sure somebody would be grateful for all that meat, if you don’t want it.
What could be better than curling up under a bear robe, gnawing on bear jerky, while you sip herbal tea and watch “Friends” reruns?
See what I mean? And that was way back in the Nixon Administration.
Leaving the avodcados on the window ledge and the front door unlocked isnt really bear-proofing the cabin.
Yowzers.
I don’t see anything wrong with the headline.
The WOMAN was mauled by a bear, while she was also fighting cancer. The sentence doesn’t suggest that the bear was fighting cancer.
She should have an an electric bear mat at the front door.
Is she getting AIDS for her birthday, and COVID for Christmas?
Except for the unlocked front door.
How do the bears know when the avocados get ripe?
