I figured I would go ahead and launch this blog off with a BANG! I have to give a quick backstory for people as to who I am.My name is Nathan Woodward, and I, like everyone else dream of being famous but really lack the ambition to pull such a thing off. I am a very opinionated person and I do have an opinion for everything. So, without further ado - let me opinionate!Yahoo is my default webpage.I came home from work early this morning, and after a slight abscence from the scene of being online I decided to check my email. Low and behold, what was before me but a news highlight.This Highlight contained this story:"Wed Sep 10, 11:17 PM ET
MISSOULA, Mont. - A middle school teacher suffered some bruising and a big scratch on his back after he struck a bear while riding his bicycle to school.
Jim Litz said he was traveling about 25 mph Monday morning when he came upon a rise and spotted a black bear about 10 feet in front of him. He didn't have time to stop and T-boned the bruin.
He tumbled over the handlebars, his helmet hit the bear's back and the two went cartwheeling down the road.
The bear rolled over Litz's head, cracking his helmet, and scratched his back before scampering up a hill above the road.
Litz's wife drove by shortly after the crash and took her husband to the hospital. He hoped to be able to return to teaching science at Target Range Middle School on Friday.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...For REAL?How did he not see it till he hit it? What did he think the giant black thing in front of him was - a ... a ... an.... an I can't think of what you could mistake a BLACK BEAR for!This grown adult ran into Yogi with a bicycle? I couldn't do that if I tried! He's lucky he didn't have his Pic-a-nic basket. He wouldn't have it anymore.The Bear should've ate him.I don't know about you guys, but when I'm out and I see a Bear...by the way, I've never seen a bear outside of a zoo, so to be fair, I can't tell you what I do...but I can tell you what I wouldn't do. Ride a bicycle towards him. Hell, I'd have a hard enough time driving a car towards him.Ironically I was just talking with one of my friends at work about how the way to go would be fighting a bear hand to hand, but that's only in a suicidal non-serius frenzy. Fellow human beings, when you see a bear...a BEAR, stay away from it. Do I need to tell you that? The only way this man has escaped the clutches of Natural Selection is through safety belts and helmets, if you don't believe, re-read the story.Do you want to know what the best part of this story is? The man should be expected to return to work, where he'll be educating our children...
