I got a big surprise this morning. Was heading to town to work out at the gym. I was carrying a cup of coffee, water bottle, kindle and pipes & tobacco. It was a big surprise to walk around the front of my truck and see a skunk standing by my door with his tail up in the air. Discretion, valor, etc. I got in Karen's Explorer.

Heh...I'll bet you did.

I've had similar happen. Yep, it's always wise to respect a skunk.

Poor skunk just needed a ride....

The dogs and I just came out to the porch for our morning gathering. The middle Yorkie was getting ready to take a drink of water and then jumped back and started growling. My immediate thought was snake. Luckily it was just a toad.

Yea for false alarms!

Morning?? 3.30 am still sounds like middle of the night to me. It's dark outside then.

Nah, 3:30 is the second morning. It's preceeded by the 2 a.m. morning and followed by the 5 a.m. morning then the 6 a.m. morning.

It is usually @ 4:30 for me, but when I woke up at 3:00 I knew no more sleep was going to happen.

Grouchy, since you are often our in the wee hours of the morning, have you been seeing any Perseid meteors?

Yes. One of the other advantages of being out away from city lights is being able to see stars, billions and billions.
