Nature
: I arrive back at my room at Aspen tonight after the group dinner and there’s a guy waiting in a cart with a flashlight. “Had a bear,” he says, “A big bear.” Sure enough, there are the the remainders of a room-service club sandwich I’d seen left outside someone else’s room when I went to dinner. Bears like ketchup, too. “Close your windows,” the man says. You bet.
Not that bears can’t open windows.
And don’t forget cougars; a cougar took a jogger in Boulder a couple years ago.
Keep an eye on the gorund, too: Aspen isn’t too high for rattlers.
You’re probably safe from the jackalopes, though. They tend to stay on the prairie.
Don’t worry about those citified bears. They just skulk around in the dark looking for easy pickins… they won’t hassle humans — too much work. But they will punch out the windows of your car if you leave food inside it…
