My wife thinks there is a bear of some sort in the woods behind the
house. She saw a "large, brownish/blackish animal, much bigger than a
German shepherd and not a deer" moving quickly back there.

Oh...if a bear was blocking my way to the door, I'd go to another
door.
I wouldn't shoot it. I don't walk around the yard "armed."

It is probably good you think that way, That antique 19th century
technology pistol you bought would just **** a bear off.
I just hope the bear cooperates and does not attack. It is actually
pretty rare for a bear to attack, unless it wants to eat your cat or
something.

Firearms are just a hobby for me, Greg.

Filling a void in your life?

A few hobbies can be fun. Devoting your life to hobbies says to me you
don't have much that is meaningful in it. No one I really know well who
is my age or older and ambulatory is fully retired from what they used
to do for a living or as a volunteer for others, even if they only work
at it a day or two a week.

Why is it that you come across as having the attitude that *your* way is
the *only* way one should live life or enjoy their retirement years?

For example, you should consider once in a while that your past
association and involvement with unions and union causes which has also
manifested itself prominently in your political views are not exactly
"mainstream". You are the oddity, not others.
