This morning I was doing my morning walk. Typically I use this as my prayer time and then think about the day. I was walking along when about 15 yards in front of me something was moving. It’s still dark when I’m out, but thankfully a street light was close by. My first thought was a small dog or cat until I saw the white stripe down the back of the black animal.

Yes, a skunk went waddling from some garbage cans on the street up a driveway and along the side of a house.

That was a first for me, and I don’t want to come across a skunk again not only at that ridiculous time of the morning but ever.
