The Mrs. is on day two in the hospital recovering from surgery, otherwise we'd probably be in Coast Guard city.

Also my only style of guiding always includes a canoe.

Condolences to you & your wife A-Jay..

I'm thinking the visitors would rather see & deal with any bears over Raider Nation.. If they see raider they will report a Bigfoot sighting..

Pretty sure it's for the other campers who find raider a "nuisance".

I'm behaving myself thank you very much.

Are you inferring a bear may attempt to mate with Raider?

 

Or vice-versa!

Well that's boring.  Why not try the local Chinese food joints and report back?

Or the ursine fertlity clinic.

I'm in a quandary.  I don't know whether the following question should be asked here, or on the Dear Raider column.

 

I'm wondering.  When you moved up to Michigan, did the population in that vicinity decline, or will there be some "lag time" until folks realize you are living in their presence, resulting in their absence?

It ain't decline yet. I'm in good company though. There are 8 other eletcricins staying in the same camp ground as me.

No problem up here Tom, as we're just waiting for "Gales of November" to arrive. 

 

More than the birds head south by Thanksgiving!

What's an "eletcricins"?  Can't tell if you meant electricians, or cretins.  Or, maybe both. 

 

I'm just not certain.
