Today I saw a bear. It was fairly large for a black bear and had an odd iridescent shine to it's jet black fur. At first that didn't phase me. I didn't really think about it. Bears eat a lot of fish in the fall and the fall bears on the Alaskan Coast often have that oily shine to their coats when the salmon run.
Then I remembered that no salmon run come this high up a mountain.
Then I remembered that there is no food source around that bear that it could possibly eat to get that greasy.
When I brought this up to my housemate she smiled and nodded.
"Oh, that must be Sewer Bob. He likes to swim in the sewage ponds and eat all the frogs."
...
"I see."
