I sense so many things I wouldn't in a cage. I think the best is when I'm ready early and add several miles out of my way then go back to the "regularly scheduled programming" of my day. It is a quarter mile from the house to get out of the city limits. Sometimes it is whitetail deer, or wild turkeys, or the time a white striped cat crossed in front of me in the half light of dawn. Nice kitty!...didn't spray me. The turtle I helped across the road. I like to get to work before most of the others too. I get rid of stress either part of my trip.
