For the first time in a few days, a wild squirrel came to play on the tree in front of my house.
The deer and foxes, which had stopped coming the day before when bears appeared , also came today, so I guess the bear scent has disappeared.
So it seems there is less danger from bears now.

I signed a contract to buy a new CB1000F motorcycle at a Honda dealership.
However, many people have already signed contracts, so I'll have to wait a few months before I can get it.
It's perfect timing, as there will be snow and ice on the roads in Hokkaido until April.
