saw a fox crossing the road i was using. he must have heard me cuz it was barely sunrise. (no sun yet, but a little light to the east) he stops, watches me approach. by now we're maybe 10 feet apart. he watches me pass then heads off into the bushes. niether one of us got worried. where i ride, there's no hunting, so most animals don't pay people any more mind than they would a tree. unless, of course the fox has to pee, then we know all about the tree :-)
