I don't know why but this sounds like a cool title for a book ^^
The fog and the fox So cute - maybe a children's book? A spooky children's book? Is that such a thing? Are there scary children's books out there? For the children who like to be scared. For the brave ones who think there is nothing living in their closets and the ones that have checked under their bed without the help of their parents. Kids today - some a braver and more fearless than we were back in the day. I am currently reading a novel called "Fatal Throne: The wives of Henry VIII tell all" - Mama P would be so proud LOL so would Mr. Ferraro LOL. Usually I'm not into the historical type reads but when I started the beginning of it I couldn't not get it - we've almost been inseparable ever since. So interesting, the times back then. The women, the children, the men, the mistresses, the treasons. The word wild would be an understatement. It's a really good book, really sad - I feel most strongly for Catherine because she really loved him and she had a miscarriage early on and then when she finally did have their son Henry made her leave him behind for the nurses to care for so that she could be present in a celebration being thrown for her - she didn't want to leave the newborn but Henry insisted and would not take no for answer - he wanted her at his side and saw no reason for her not to go especially since it was a party in her honor. So she couldn't not be there - but during the celebration they learn that their newborn caught a cold and passed away. It was horrible. They were never the same after that. It tore me apart. The fog and the fox came yesterday both when I was driving to work and driving home. The fog was so thick it almost didn't seem real. Like when the high-beams only make it worse. And you can barely see the tail lights in front of you even though you feel like you're right on top of the car. It stretched on for miles and miles, almost endlessly in both directions. If I wouldn't know any better I would've swore it would be a time for monsters - werewolves and vampires. Or maybe aliens coming down from the sky in their spaceships. It was eerily creepy. The kind of feeling when you want to lock your car doors even though your driving. As for the red fox he was crossing the road. Coming down off a hill from a community of houses and crossing the street to get to the grassland on the other side. Me driving didn't phase him at all. He simply watched my car and continued trotting across the road - keeping his same speed. He didn't seem to understand that a four wheeled vehicle could run him over and end his life. In this case he either still believed he was the predator or had rabies and therefore felt unaffected by what was going on around him since he wasn't in his straight mind. He was smiling at me like a sick grin showing all of his teeth - taunting me, warning me. I didn't see any saliva dripping from his mouth but something was off about him. He reminded me much of the fox in the Gingerbread man story - the original one - where the Gingerbread man rides his back as they cross the water. He was a beautiful surprising site to see but at the same time I was thankful for not being outside the car, alone with him. The lesson here folks is even if someone is on the trunk of your car during a fog-out - maintain the speed the feels comfortable to you. Afterall they won't be the one paying your accident bill if you rear-end someone who can't stop or runs into problems. And the other lesson is always keep a lookout for animals out during the day. Your human instinct knows when something is watching you. And you also have a basic knowledge of what kind of animals you see during the day and what usually only come out at night. Keep your eyes peeled and don't ever approach a wild animal or get down to it's level thinking that it'll help them feel less threatened. Animals carry rabies often and when those types of animals attack they can't help it and they will - they are sick and not in their right mind. Stay safe out there && as always, I appreciate ya!
