Don't know if it's "the bear,"  but a bear visited our porch in the wee hours 
before dawn today (heard it but didn't see it), and though we're being very careful
 not to leave out anything attractive, it managed to find and almost surgically remove
 the one edible thing out there, a forgotten small closed container of leftover chutney 
that was in the outer pocket of a backpack.	I'll have to repair the pack, and the 
chutney container was empty and in fragments, but nothing else was even disturbed.  
 It is clearly only after food.
Only one post from last night  for those tuning in........    This would be in our area....
Actually 2 posts today...
That would be the same small oen that visited us last night, the first visi=
