I’ve never seen a bear in my living room

I am in Pennsylvania with my family riding motorcycles.

On our way to the house last night, I was leading the group of riders.

As we topped a hill, I saw a large, dark object in the middle of the lane.

It was easy to see that it was a very large black bear.

This was my first bear sighting outside of a national park. My first wild bear.

He simply turned around and walked back into the woods.

I've never seen a bear in my living room.

In fact, all of the amazing experiences I have enjoyed have been outside of my home.

I enjoy using technology as much as the next guy. Watching tv, playing video games, surfing the internet, working on my laptop, using a tablet or iphone are all great things.

But I've never seen a bear in person while using one.

But when I shut everything off and went outside, I did.

As we were riding, I saw a bait shop sign that read, "trade your xbox for a tackle box." Not bad advice.

Go outside.
