The Bear and the Borscht

[Francoise Rosset]

Can anyone gauge whether these express surprise at finding bears in the
neighborhood?
I suppose it depends where you live ...
I ask because in Alaska, where most places basically encroaches on wildlife
habitat, they are quite used to watching bears stroll down small suburbian
streets and hang out in people's yards. They also are quite savvy at not
leaving anything lying around that might attract them.

There is a reader column devoted to this in the ADN, or Anchorage Daily
News, where people send in their photos of bear sightings.
http://www.adn.com/2013/09/24/2936892/reader-photos-2013-bear-sightings.html

Some of these include a family lounging on someone's porch and a black bear
playing with someone's chimes (pictures 56 and 57 when I looked). Take a
look, they close down the column for the winter ... soon.
