I believe it may have been this bear I almost had a very close encounter with this morning driving to work.

Coming down Parade Road from Meredith Center Road/Elm St, just as I passed the stormwater improvement site (just before the Community Gardens) a bear suddenly burst from the bushes on the lake side of the road running full speed across the road. I swerved into the breakdown lane and avoided hitting him by one or two feet. By the time I regained control of the car, I was past him, and just caught a glimspe of him going into the trees on the State School side of the road.

This is about a mile north of the incident where the bear went into the house, so if its not the same bear, it's probably the brother/sister/cousin of that bear.
