Good point about the "bears" and "bulls" of Wall Street. The pair-pattern is there, that's for sure, (the bears being pessimists and the bulls being optimists,) but I wonder what the "guild" of Wall Street gives as the lore for their animal symbols? Granted there is a big famous Bull statue right there, as is fitting, and AFAIK no bear statue to be seen (also fitting!). Thank you for posting, Tom!

Such a unique beast inevitably will. Chicago Bears. The Cubs. I note that "Bears" and "Bulls" of Wallstreet retain a kind of duality, or pairing as the beasts in your essay do.

What, =again=?! I just saw you last year at Seattle! I'm thinking about going to WindyCon, Chicago Nov 14-16, but I haven't decided yet. If you're going, I'd probably go. Beyond that, did Texas A&M ever reschedule that Gene Wolfe thing that Wolfe had to cancel because of the SF Hall of Fame/Seattle thing? I keep wondering. Anyway, that seems like it would be a great one to go to! =Michael= Hello there James Wynn!
