I miss the toad
I never thought I’d say that. Until today. When I saw. God, it’s so horrible. Wait for it. A fox. Yep, our neighborhood apparently is patrolled by not only the Howard County Police Department, but also a potentially rabid fox. I mean, really? I live in suburban DC, not the backwoods of Pennsylvania. J warned me of the neighborhood fox a few weeks ago but, to be honest, I kind of didn’t believe him. I also don’t understand how there can only be one fox, as opposed to a male and female, or a family of foxes. Doesn’t it know it needs to reproduce in order to maintain the population? Not that I’m complaining. I’m all about family planning for foxes, trust me. In any case, I spotted him just as I ended my run this morning, as he swaggered through the foggy haze of this unusually humid September day. He was just too cool for school. Little bastard. But yes, I fear him. I really never thought running would present so many dangers. Next on the agenda: research how to shake a god damn fox.
