Musing of one wondering if one develops into a wizened up little old man when he ages, what did Methusaleh look like when he passed 900…

The other day, a bear broke into a house in our neighborhood.  A man in the house saw him and ran to shut the door from the kitchen into the next room.  He and the bear arrived simultaneously and a shoving match ensued.  The man trying to shut the door and the bear trying to push it further open.  In the process, the bear bit the man on the hand.  Eventually, the bear got tired of it and walked away.  According to the newspaper account, the man went to the doctor to have his hand treated and then left the state and went to Oklahoma.  I don't know if he was the owner of the house.  I guess one could conclude from this episode that kitchens in this neighborhood are adequate, but just bearly.  OW.
