WBZ has the latest on the black bear that has been ambling around Concord of late - and includes this advice should you find yourself mano-a-paw with the bear:
They are advised to talk to it calmly while backing away.
Talk to it calmly? Unfortunately, WBZ fails us and doesn't specify just what we're supposed to say as we calmly talk to the bear. Whisper sweet nothings? "Hey, how 'bout that Gronk!" What?

Per Kate Merrill, tranquilizers this morning didn't work against the bear, in a tree on Eddy Street, overlooking the turnpike just west of the supermarket overpass. The westbound turnpike was briefly shut.

A bear was spotted in the woods in Wellesley on Saturday.
No word on what it was doing there, but police officers gave chase, which somebody with a fevered mind might imagine started a chain reaction in which a deer was so frightened by a rampaging bear charging it that it started running and didn't stop until it got to the Prudential tunnel in Boston, where it would sadly be hit by a car.
