"Maybe the black bear visiting an Anchorage Hillside home Tuesday afternoon didn't slurp any porridge or nap in any beds. But the wayward bruin did rip a couch, tear window screens, bust a planter, sample sandwich rolls and lay a great, ripe pile on the living room's polished oak floor."

"Tyler Saupe, a 2002 East High School graduate on summer break from college, returned about 6 p.m. from a shift on a framing crew. After he saw the poop, he dashed downstairs to his bedroom and armed himself with a short medieval sword and a curved dagger, both hanging on his wall as collector's items."


"I definitely would have done something," he said. "He's definitely a bear, but I'm a 190-pound 21-year-old. It would have been interesting who would have gotten the best of the other. I definitely would have stood a chance."

1. I know Tyler's mom very well...

She used to be one of my best friends back in the late '70s when I worked with her ex-husband.
