The best thing I’ve seen all day comes from the Huckleberries Online blog. In response to the question, “Have you ever had a close encounter with an Inland Northwest predator? Tell us about it” someone posted the following comment:

I was cornered by a cougar in a Moscow bar. When flashing my wedding ring didn’t phase her, I had no choice but to create a diversion and run for the door. I made it out very scared - but unharmed - but I’m not sure if anyone else in John’s Alley was hurt - I certainly didn’t stick around to watch the carnage.
