good morning Mr. bear said papa
Alaska is always a place that is full of wild life and Juneau is not an exception. the bears here which are black bears think this is there town and they can just walk around here anytime of the day or night they choose too. so the people that live here have learned to put up with it all.
well one morning papa is getting up and getting ready for work. he puts on the coffee and sits for a spell. to enjoy the peace and quiet of it all. once he is done and he sees the time he grabs his hat and heads for the door. opens it and finds this big black bear sitting on the porch right out in front of the door like nothing to this. the bears is looking at the mts and the sky and taking it all in. he turns to papa and that is when papa said ok and closes the door fast. goes in and thinks well I guess one more cup of coffee wont hurt. so he gets one and sits for a little while longer. thinking that will give the bear a bit of time to move on. once he is done with his coffee he moves to the door to leave again and opens it up . but Mr. bear is leaning on the door and enjoying the view still and abouts falls into the house when papa opens the door. papa sees this closes it again and thinks ok one more cup of coffee I guess and then we will see. well this goes on and on and this bear isn't about to move so the next time that papa does go to the door and opens it up he stands there alittle upset and tells Mr. bear. now look I got to go to work and your making me late. I know your enjoying the view early in the am and all that but you got to move on so I can get by. he said the bear looked at him like "man I got to move? but not just yet you should slow down and take a good look at all this beauty here!"papa closed the door and goes to the phone and calls his boss. says I am going to be late I got this bear sitting on the porch here blocking my way out so until he moves I cant even leave for work. ( now I know some people use some pretty lame excuses not to go to work on time but here in Alaska this one is one that is legit and not a problem because this sort of thing happens around here allot in the summer time ) papa sat down and kept on waiting. watched some TV drank about a pot of coffee and finally that Mr. bear got tired of the view or finished watching the sun come up and left .
