AAAAAUUUGGGHHHH!!!!! Erich, you Dasher Of Hopes, you! Sigh. I had in
fact wondered if it would attract them. Well, at least I won't be wasting
good habaneros and good wasabiko stringing them up in the woods now. Demz
good eatin'. The guy next door has dogs who roam all over the place and if
we do have a bear problem nearby they could be keeping them at bay. Maybe.
Ohhhh, Douuuug? (Mind you, we have yet to see a bear on our block, but how
long will that last?)
