Alibi!

If anyone asks, I was here all day. I was right here, and thus can't be held accountable for anything that might have happened at that giant yard sale. It's almost too horrible to write, and I am expecting the law to arrive at any moment to take that horrible, awful bear into custody. Every year, Betsy amuses herself at this sale, robbing the senior citizens of all of their goodies while the human is looking at the book sale they always have, and then that bear hits the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Well, this year both groups were missing! MISSING! And I'm sure their vanishing act is due to Betsy Bear's antics. Oh, the law will be here soon for sure. How long do you think that Betsy will get for driving those poor, poor people back to some foreign war in hopes of escaping her?

Giant Yard Sale Disaster

The human limped off to that horrible, giant yard sale today, and naturally a couple of rabbits, one of the polar bear cubs and Betsy went along with her. She wasn't able to go to very many sales, but the ones she did choose to hit ought to be illegal. She trotted by the lady who has the nerve to offer various seed for sale every year. I think you can safely guess what happened there, with rabbits on the loose. And then there were the poor senior citizens, the American Legion and those Veterans of Foreign Wars. I don't know why those people never learn. They were selling food again this year for some insane reason, or they were before Betsy dropped by. I just hope they are insured, especially the seniors. They were being very foolish this year, and offered a large supply of cotton fabric for sale as well. I think you can guess what happened with that. The cub came trotting back with his paws full! And then, to make matters worse, the bunnies picked up a little something for me! A cat harness, so they can drag me everywhere by a leash!

The Poor Senior Citizens

I would suggest if you qualify as a senior citizen and live anywhere in the immediate area that you flee at once. The human seems to be making fairly good progress on that book she is writing involving a senior center and she's even talking about popping around to one to do research. I just know if she does, Betsy Bear will stow away for a visit as well. Isn't what she did to those poor seniors during that yard sale bad enough? I wonder if those poor things issued warnings to their fellow seniors to be on the lookout for that bear? I do hope so, especially since the human has an idea for which center to visit for research purposes, and it's a nice one. It would be a shame if Betsy destroyed it.

Senior Citizens

Can I be held accountable if I know of some poor, endangered senior citizens and fail to warn them of their fast approaching doom? I spotted Betsy Bear lurking on the human's bed whispering ideas about a story set at a senior citizens' center and of course the need to do research for such a story. Really, didn't those poor senior citizens suffer enough when Betsy raided their center during that giant yard sale? What will become of them if she convinces the human to write about them and thus to make lots of visits for research? They will be lucky to be left with a building by the time that bear is through with them.

Another Apology to those Poor Seniors

I also need to apologize to those poor seniors for the actions of the polar bears today. Granted, it could be argued that they brought it on themselves though. They actually had quilts on the premises for the purposes of a raffle, and then they dared to have fabric for sale for quilting purposes as well. I wonder how much insurance the seniors have on their center, and if they've checked their policy to make sure that polar bear visits aren't something that is excluded under their coverage? I'm pretty sure Betsy is an excluded clause.

Additional Apologies

I also need to apologize to the American Legion and the Senior Center. The humans were rather serious about hunting that lighting fixture and Betsy was seriously unsupervised. Would you believe those seniors actually were brave enough to serve pie, cake, brownies and other goodies? I think you can imagine what happened when Betsy got loose in the senior center. You don't want to know what happened with the American Legion's homemade ice cream.

Giant Yard Sale

A batch of what I can only assume are lunatics are taking part in a 300+ mile long yard sale in a couple of weeks. The humans are planning to attend, and so, unfortunately, is Betsy Bear. I'm afraid that honey vendors tend to frequent these sorts of events and I think everyone here knows what happens when that bear gets near honey vendors. They even had vehicles in bear size last year that Betsy was able to borrow for faster swiping while the humans were checking out a batch of booths, looking for a light globe. You don't even want to know what she did to the poor batch of senior citizens who were daring to sell baked goods. Do you think I ought to send them an email of warning?
