The bear smells the bacon

Today I was running and smelled bacon. I suddenly wondered how I would find where the smell was coming from. I thought about the bears. If a bear were trapped in an urban environment -- houses and apartment complexes everywhere -- how would it find the bacon?

Probably the way I'm finding my purpose in life these days. Snout in air, sniffing. One step toward the smell. Then another. Then a correction. To the right. Avoid that person. Straight ahead. Oops, too far. Okay, yes, this is the way...
