What was it that ravaged last night’s lovely blanket of snow? Something with three toes on one foot and missing one of its very large nails. My god, the size of those back paws! A black bear, no doubt; a midnight, black hole in space, black bear; checking out my trash bin...

I was walking down a Vermont road to stretch my legs and blow off stress, stone walls flanked the hard, brown dirt, half-obscured by dead leaves and grass. When a fast rustling caught my ear, I turned my eyes left to see, exploding over the rock wall came a flustered, frantic turkey. He sprinted hard on spindly legs, and it noud gulps gasped for...
