That's an avatar-worthy moment.

As far as my bear goes, I've already posted on its local symbolism. I'm by no means a wilderness person, but I do enjoy riding in the mountains every now and then.

What does it illustrate about personality? I'm generally easy going, but look out if I get crossed the wrong way. I'm loyal/protective. Sometimes I hibernate.

I also have a sentimental attachment to the bear, but I won't get into that or coasting will have to break out the barf bucket again.
