August 5, 2014: Telling my mom about the bear spray I purchased from Amazon. Size of a fire extinguisher, and I’m supposed to holster that to my hip? She asked if I was going to bring it. I said, “I don’t think so. The guides are packing guns. It’s their job to take care of these kinds of things.” Her response? “Maybe it’s their JOB to make it look like they did the best they could.”
She continues … “Take the bear spray, moron.” My mom cracks me up.
