I have officially reached the chapter in my life where "I could go for some ice cream" ends up with me in a major supermarket, wearing a bear suit, with my partner acting like this is a perfectly normal Alice behavior, as we stock our basket with berries and ice cream.
Now, normally people stop me *everywhere* to compliment my outfits...
No one said a word, or even did a double-take.
This bear suit is like an invisibility cloak 😯
It's kinda amazing.
I think it's an indication that the "Be Bear Aware" campaigns are working.
"Leave them alone and they'll leave you alone."
"Bears coming out of hibernation earlier and earlier are hungry. Try to stay out of their way."
“They’re super adaptable, they’re very curious, they’re always looking for the next best meal,” said Jaclyn Comeau, bear biologist at the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department.

From some posts yesterday, it seems like they might be thirsty
