Michael,

Thanks. Public opinion of the encounter at camp was about 50/50. About
half the gossip around camp was that I was a coward for not getting in a
fight. Of course, much of this was because that is what the grizzly bear
went around saying. And, people being people, there was the
disappointment that there wasn't a fight. Still, I think I won, public
opinion or not.
