I had a close encounter with a skunk. It was a few feet away from me on the road, then turned and scurried back into high grass. Did not spray, I still smell pretty. Well as pretty as possible after riding 14 miles to work. Nice ride in, something else strange, seen a lot of loose dogs today, cant remember seeing any before. Two big dogs were in the street, but barley looked up as I rode by. I am beginning to dread the rides home though. Not real pleasant lately.
