Black Bear Sighting in Union

I saw a big black bear on my way home from office about 6:30pm yesterday. I was at the Stop sign by the Texaco gas station on Dalby Road. As I looked right, I saw a big black bear standing in the middle of McReavy Road. I didn't have a photo to prove but I swear it was a bear, not a giant cat! I’ve seen bears up close in their natural environment before in Yellowstone National Park. This is even a bigger one! By the time I realized it was a bear and reached to my camera, the bear jumped into the woods. An real estate agent friend of mine told me a couple of weeks ago she and her husband had spotted a bear almost in the same area. So this bear will be around the area for a while. Another thing I find interesting is how our brain works. If it's not a everyday thing/occurrence, it takes our brain a little while to register it. I can name so many instances like that.
