We were told it was a short walk, but I was hesitant. I had heard the stories of polar bears roaming the town and I wasn’t sure I could outrun one of the beasts with or without a suitcase in my hand. Not to worry, I was assured. There was a polar bear patrol that kept them out of town. Those that could not be scared off were tranquilized and put in polar bear jail, which had cells for up to a couple of dozen of them. Well, that made me feel better.
