"Et" would translate "ate" for city folk. LOL
Who did she outrun?

Does Midlothian predate Neanderthals?
My wife grew up in England. She says "et" for "ate" quite a bit. It's not just a rural American thing. Or did you grow up in England too?

(refering to the old joke: for those readers with no sense of humor) :)
I had an experience just this past week involving a bear that I don’t want to repeat. I was on my bicycle on an old logging trail going through a wooded area when I came across a bit of thinned out area where the vegetation was quite high (mostly grass and some brush that was say 2 to 3 feet high. All of a sudden about 40 feet in front of me, a small black animal popped out of the grass and on to the trail and he turned in the same direction I was going. For a millisecond, I thought it might be a black cat…. common sense quickly told me there were no cats for a gazillion miles around and that it obviously was a baby bear. So, I made the snap decision to just hit the pedals as hard as I could and get past him and hope his mother was following and thus behind him. In a couple seconds, I was right beside him as he loped along in the adjacent track and when he looked up me and saw me as I got level to him, he peeled off into the grass like he had just received the biggest fright of his life. I never did see the mother and am glad that I didn’t have to second guess the decision to speed up instead of stop when I saw the baby.
Black bear lives matter!
IMHO, there’s now an orphaned bear cub somewhere on that mountain searching in vain for its mother.
This bear probably had become habituated to humans and come to associate them with easy food. Truly wild bears avoid people. It’s a shame when bears have to be killed because some previous hiker/camper has practiced poor hygeine. A fed bear is a dead bear.
DID THE BEAR HAVE A NAME!?!?!?!
OMG!!!!!
