I don't watch Northern Exposure very often, so perhaps I don't know all the ins and outs, but I happened to catch an episode which features a bear that the guy in the leather jacket (Ed?) nurtures for a while. He also brings it to some kind of day care center or school where there are children, and there is very little uproar. And here I thought bears were WILD animals. I guess I'm risking my life sleeping with ferrets. Todd Cromwell Dors and Seldon [Posted in FML issue 1253]
