Interesting ride last home last night, right at dusk. I've been ferrying my work laptop so I can ride home in daylight, but a meeting going late put paid to that. So I wasn't quite ready for the light showers dampening me on and off most of the way, nor for the tricks my eyes were playing on me.

There were an awful lot of rabbits and squirrels running across the road shortly after sundown -- only to find out it was oak and perhaps sycamore leaves, dried out and curled up, blowing across the road. A glance into a parking lot looked like someone had gone on safari, only to mount the rhinoceros horn on his bumper. As I got closer, it looked more like an inverted "V" bar, part of a winch setup, mounted about 30 degrees from vertical. And finally, there was a ghostly deer in the dim woods just off the road where I never saw a deer before. OK, that one was real! But at least it turned back into the woods instead of running across the road in front of me -- I guess that's a benefit of not driving a car last night.

And to think that I saw it on Kingfisher St.!
