    Bear feasts at candy store in Tenn. mountains

    GATLINBURG, Tenn. (AP) — A bear has feasted on pecan logs, caramel apples and other treats at a candy store in the Smoky Mountains resort town Gatlinburg, Tenn.

    Employees reporting for work found the bear Wednesday morning at the Ole Smoky Candy Kitchen, where the animal apparently had knocked a hole in a glass front door to enter, according to The Mountain Press (http://bit.ly/orYRBH ).

    Police propped open several back doors and made loud noises, and the bear ran into the woods.

    The animal had spread candy on the floor, and wrappers and packaging were strewn throughout a back storeroom. Pecan logs had been chewed and chunks were missing out of caramel apples.

    Bob Miller of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park said bears are active this time of year, searching for food before hibernation.

        I doubt they're listening. You need to emphasize your feelings by using words like: $*$#%&, and @!$&$&!!, and the ever favorite, %#$*&*%@#. Then they'll notice you.

      I have spoken with said bear. He insists that it was a conspiracy. A coyote and wolverine were also in on the shenanigans.
