[Today’s run: Watson Road 3.5 miles]<\/p>\n
Had a nice run this morning.\u00a0 The biting flies are starting to make their appearance so I took along a bandanna and used it as a swatter.<\/p>\n
I was tooling along nicely then looked in a pasture area off the road to the right and there was a skunk about 30 feet away.\u00a0 He had a cute little triangular black head and a big fluffy tail.\u00a0 He didn’t look distressed (or rabid) so I just kept going and he did his thing.<\/p>\n
Then about a quarter mile later on, near a curve and in an area where trees grow up shading the road, another skunk crossed the road about 30 feet ahead of me and went down into the ditch.\u00a0 Same day different skunk.<\/p>\n
And then a hundred yards farther on I saw a raccoon rumble across the road.\u00a0 Raccoons have a unique gait, so I could tell what it was.<\/p>\n
Two skunks and one raccoon in one day.\u00a0 And various biting flies.\u00a0\u00a0 Pretty good wildlife total for one morning.<\/p>\n
