It doesn't shit in the woods.

Went for a walk through the Marin Headlands with Anna, wildlife educator extraordinaire, who pointed out some black bear scat on the Coastal Trail. Several dried patties appeared in a hundred-yard stretch, leading to a theory of a bear with diarrhea. When we got back to the trailhead at Muir Beach, we saw that rangers have in fact posted warnings of a black-bear sighting, the first in 75 years.

And this is as good a time as any to mention my favourite online bear. It doesn't shit in the woods, either.
