It was August, 1995. I had just moved into my newly built home on the Santa Fe Trail Ranch the week before. I had just finished a bracing breakfast of buttermilk pancakes and left the uneaten portion on the kitchen counter to cool, then got into my truck to go gather rocks for a retaining wall I was building at the rear of my house. I returned ten minutes later with a load of rocks, and noticed the fern that had been hanging over the kitchen sink was now on the front porch.

Absolutely clueless, I got out of the truck, walked onto the porch and stared at the broken pot, then noticed the window screen was not on the kitchen window, but crumpled nearby. Getting a rather alarming vibe, I went over to look in another window and saw a black bear staring back at me from my living room. I took advantage of the bear running into another room to open the front door and prop the screen door open. Then I got out of there in hopes the bear would discover the open door and leave.
