DAVID BARON, CALL YOUR OFFICE! I just got this “emergency alert” email from the UT Police: “UT ALERT! Black bears sighted on campus. Last seen in the area of White Ave/Volunteer Blvd headed eastbound. More info to follow.”

UPDATE: Reader Rachael Pereira writes:

In the past month, we’ve had 3 bears in downtown Orlando. Which is unheard of! Your UT link reminded me that we spent Friday evening glued to the tv watching the most recent bear-up-a-tree story.

That one was right next to a major highway near a sports arena in the rape-and-murder district.

Good thing they got the bear out before that happened to him . . . .
