Was outside with my baby Westie one night when we heard an ominous noise from the back yard. We’d had a bear sighting and coyotes so I raised up my robe like Batgirl to make myself large and ROARED, my brave trembling puppy at my side - to discover it was the sprinkler system coming on.

Did the sprinkler system run away wimpering?

I shot a bear in my pajamas once. How it got in my pajamas I'll never know...

I was more scared the moment a sprinkler system came on in the middle of the night than I’ve ever been before or since. People have NO CLUE what it’s like to be slinking along on an almost totally silent situation and suddenly hear really load gurgling sounds and have NO CLUE where they’re coming from, until the water starts spraying about 10 seconds later. It was 30 years ago...and I remember it like yesterday.
