Greetings, friends. From here in the IMPORTANT BEAR NEWS cave, things might seem a little gloomy out there today. Perhaps the mid-autumn sun is setting too early for you, or maybe you ran out of honey much earlier than you expected to. Maybe a close friend is foolishly pushing Christmas music on you already, when there honestly is only one song you should be listening to until November 26 comes and goes next Thursday and it involves Alice. You remember Alice. This is a newsletter about Alice. [Editor's Note: No, it truly, actually isn't]. But we're here to remind you that bears never quit, and neither should you. Keep on keepin' on, friends. Hibernation is coming soon. A shoutout to our Vermont IMPORTANT BEAR NEWS correspondent, Sam Gale Rosen, and our Washington, D.C. IMPORTANT BEAR NEWS: PRO correspondent Tony Romm for their IMPORTANT BEAR NEWS contributions this issue.
