Bears, Bears, Bears - in Monrovia and Elsewhere

I received a note from a Monrovia correspondent the other day entitled "bears bears bears," which read:
 
"The past three nights, when my husband and I have gone out to do our walks, we've had to turn back because of bears.  Bears are all the buzz.  Bears are all the rage.  Praying nothing bad happens!"
 
And then I saw this NY Times story about increasing numbers of human run-ins with bears: http://goo.gl/INlqB
 
I've seen plenty of black bears - even in my back yard - and never had a problem, but it is wise to remember they're wild animals and not safe, Samson notwithstanding.
