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.

I think I would be a little uncomfortable going to a school named "Target
Range". That's like buying an estate named "Anthrax Manor".
