I was on my way to work last night, around 10:00 pm. I noticed something running on the side of the road. Now mind you, I'm in the center of town, having just passed a gas station. At first I thought it was a huge rat. That thought gave me the instant willies. But, then I realized it was a snub nose, so it had to be a muskrat.
I drive 20 miles to my job out of town. I thought about that muskrat just about the entire drive. Wondering why was it there? But, it was close to a river and there is some marsh land along the train tracks. But wow, made me look twice !!
