    "In my family, we never say prayers before eating," Helen said gracelessly. "Better hope Sam & Ella aren't working in the cafe's kitchen today then," Tom snarked poisonously.

    Bicyclist collides with a bear!

    And it was not a good thing. Happened in Canada, of course. Note that an ebike was instrumental in getting him to safety: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/21/canada-bear-cyclist-vancouver?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
