When I was on the way home from depositing my windfall at the bank last night, I happened to see a fox. Small critter, maybe the size of a beagle, with reddish-brown coat and white underbelly, and a long, bushy, tubular-shaped tail. It was sitting on an embankment beside some railroad tracks; when I approached closer it loped into the nearby woods. I wished I had a digital camera or binoculars. My distance vision isn't all that great.
As I was over eating lunch just now, one of the employees of the pet store near the restaurant was sitting outside on a grassy parking lot median, with a 3-and-1/2-week orange kitten, named Tiger. Cutest little thing you ever saw. There was also a customer who had his pet white rat on his shoulder—a rat about three times the size of the kitten. He set it down and rat and kitten met each other amicably. It kind of reminded me of that Roadrunner cartoon where the coyote "catches" a giant Roadrunner and looks at the camera and asks, "OK, I caught him, now what?"
