The Facebook algorithm knows I love bears; it feeds me reels of bears getting into houses, garbage cans and backyards all the time. So I had to laugh when Ted sent me this picture. He’s in Lake Tahoe with his college besties—they have an annual Tahoe get-together every September—and on his very first night, a bear opened his car door and ate whatever snacks he had in the center console. 😂 Fortunately, Mr. Bear was thoughtful enough not to tear up the leather while searching for food. And even more fortunately, he didn’t get the pumpkin chocolate-chip muffins (I'll put the recipe in the comments) I’d baked for the group because Ted had already carried them inside. 😂🐻
