I was up late tonight after delivering a 2 hour presentation to my subdivision and thought I'd wind down by reading the Post-Dispatch.  I couldn't believe this story!  The headline was "Bear breaks into home, nabs chocolate"  This I've got to read.  Deputies in CA say a bear with an apparent sweet tooth burst into a San Bernadino County home and gobbled up a box of chocolates from a couples fridge.  Oh, it gets better.  The homeowners arrived home this past Saturday afternoon, found the bear chowing down and dialed 911...the bear fled and the story goes that this "yogi bear wanna be" had pushed aside the veggies in the front of the fridge and went straight for the 2 pound box of sweets.  If that didn't beat all, the bear tried to open a bottle of champagne too!   I immediately put the paper down, turned of the light and tucked in for some nighty nite shut-eye.
