Central Park Bears

Herman heard that there were bears in central park, and climbed into Misery's pocket to go on a bear hunt to find them. They took a northerly bearing from the middle of mid-town Manhattan to Central Park, but Misery Googled the zoo, and found that Gus and Ida had died.  Hermann was upset as he recalled that Angus was no longer with us too, but as soon as Misery explained that Ida was a white bear like the Scottish Widow bear, Hermann became even more upset and was worried that he may not get to go on another trip again,  given he did not get to go to Norway back in July when Pooh took the white bear.

Hermann soon discovered there were bears in the park after all, spotting 4 bearings on the cart as it slowly passed by.

Misery was not so sure as he has lost his bearings and was taking a very meandering path towards Strawberry Fields, but Hermann pointed out that there were lots of girls laid nearly bare, lazing like bears on the grass in the bare cloudless sky, below the sun which was at a bearing of around 60' 175' azimuth at the time.
Hermann decided to join them, but soon got the message and was bullied and intimidated by Misery's telephoto lens bearing down on him

By the time they arrived at Strawberry Fields, Hermann felt like he had been in Misery's pocket forever, and it was getting a bit hot and humid in there
 so, they headed off to get an ice cream to cool Misery




Misery again lost his bearings as the park was not laid out logically in a grid,  and they found themselves walking south along 5th Avenue instead of north along Central Park West. Misery worked it out after 3 blocks as the perpendicular roads were in descending sequence. They turned around heading on a northerly bearing, whilst the wind blew an easterly bearing upon them,   keeping west side of 5th, and passed around a round museum bearing the name Guggenheim to the east side of the northerly path along the avenue.

Re-entering the park at the northerly end, they found a reservoir bearing the name of an ex-president, but by now, Hermann was feeling tired, crushed by the weight of Misery's wallet bearing down on him in the same pocket. He was concerned about his mohair coat as Misery had put his chocolate covered Magnum stick in there too.  Luckilly Misery found a trash can when they left on a westerly bearing heading to the Hudson River





Misery was not happy as he started to write this post over an hour ago, and some combination of keys wiped the lot with no recovery plan.  He was growling loudly, and Hermann climbed back into the spectacle case for the night to keep out of Misery's way. At least there were bears in Central Park after all
