There is “Bear” and there is “Bare”…
Nowhere was I giving the impression that anyone was running around “Bare” arsed, even at the bordello. The local bordello is a very nice place and has high standards.
Now, a “Bear” is some sort of an animule, that seems to be attracted to young Lewis Polk. It seems that he/she/it was hired with a payment of four pails of honey a year (5 gallon pails)…the word is that the price of honey went way up; forced up by a family of Vogels, deep in the swamps of lower Joisey.
The higher costs of the honey, forced young Lewis Polk, to increase the cost of Aristo Track, to compensate for the higher costs of honey ?
Whether the "Aristo Engineer" is a bear, or not, is not for me to make comment on. "He" is known as "Tate", but not as a Bear, that I know of.
Where “The Bear” hibernates is also a question. One person has sent me a note suggesting, that “It’s” place of hibernation reeks of cegar smoke, but it doesn’t mention where the place is. It might be a cave up near the Canadian border, but the yelling and screaming of Vogels out skiing, would not aid in a restfull hibernation up there in Vermont.
One wonders if the Bear is of Chinese descent…and is up in Northern China…it may be a slightly reformed and shrunken example of a Chinese Brown Bear, an ancestor of the American Brown found in Alaska, and parts of the Canadian Northwest.
This of course could be another reason for the higher track prices…The high cost of wild Salmon…the Brown Bear thrives on fresh wild Pacific Salmon.
To be sure; we can all get as close as posible to the Aristo Bear (Note the spelling), and sniff it’s breath…if it smells of Salmon, or honey; we have one answer…if it smells of cegar smoke, or Malt Whisky…all bets are off, and the whole Bear/Bare question is placed in front of this committee again…Garlic breath is another question best answered by a full blooded Italian…!!!
