Oh, I Have Questions . . . Plenty Of Questions
*** continued from previous post ***
As the meal wound down, but before we made our box lunches, Stacy walked in and rang a small brass bell to get everyone's attention.
"Hey folks, just wanted to remind you that tonight in the library we have a special guest that I think you'll all enjoy. His name is Randy Dale, and he works in cooperation with the Parks Service to control the bear population in this section of the Park using Kaerlian Bear Dogs. He's worked here for the last 10 years and has some excellent stories to share as well as talk about basic bear behavior and how you can be safe in bear country. He's a great guy and very entertaining! So if you're staying with us tonight I would highly recommend that you come and listen to him talk."
Immediately my interest was piqued: Why would dogs be involved in paranormal photography and how would that help with problem bears? Would they photograph the bear's auras, and then point out spiritual deficiencies? How the hell would you get a bear to hold still, or actually cooperate with something like that? And that begs another question - just how strong are the bears belief in the metaphysical?
Oh, I was going to be at the talk alright. Wild hedgehogs couldn't keep me away. I had questions.
Jackie said, "Oh, that sounds like fun!"
All three of us agreed with her assessment. Our foursome then launched into a lengthy talk regarding every bear sighting, every bear encounter we'd ever had. This was kind of lopsided, because the only good and entertaining bear story of our own had happened just the day before.
Well, that's not true. We once saw a bear on I-90 just outside of North Bend that ran like linebacker towards the freeway - then promptly smacked into a chain link fence, bounced off, and without so much as a pause took off hell-bent-for-leather back into the woods. It was a Three Stooges moment in the wilderness. I can only imagine the bear trying to explain the chain-link fence pattern that was impressed on his face. If he were an adolescent bear, it would probably become fashionable amongst his peers and before you know it a steady stream of black bear would be bouncing off fences all over the Northwest causing biologist all over the region to say, "WTF?"
And who could blame them.
