    It's a good theory, but they found the bears first and always stopped, so I guess the answer must be no. Maybe they were hoping that bears are more like velociraptors and would attack from an unexpected direction. I guess you can't rule that out.

    I prefer the bear threat to that of mountain lions who can go all three dimensional on you.

    I've reported here before that I came up with my own Bicentennial project, yes? I memorized Paul Revere's Ride by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and recited it my backyard on the 200th anniversary (April 18, 1975) while a group of neighborhood kids acted it out behind me. My younger brother was Paul Revere. We performed for a few invited guests (mostly the parents of the kids who acted it out behind me). I'm going to do it again with some theater friends for the 250th. Don't know where yet - not my backyard though.

    Btw, aimo, my younger brother won the 4th of July tricycle race one year, but he was too old by 1976. Looking back on it now, the 4th of July celebrations in our hood were fantastic. I've never lived anywhere else that did the 4th of July better than we did in the 1970s.
    I did not know this little tidbit. I would bet that my parents DELIBERATELY kept this from me. It burns even more now. Damn that Betsy Ross!!!

    One of my earliest memories is of the annual parade (neighborhood kids riding their decorated bikes) coming past our house and my running to the front stoop to watch. I was three.

    We had to memorize Paul Revere's Ride in 5th grade.

    I think Aimo wants to box but she better be careful because I got mad hits like I was Rod Carew.
