The Opossum Was A Rare Sight
Author: siggyThe opossum was a rare sight. He was navigating on the frozen snow in broad daylight through a wide open area. That was just a little unusual. Usually you see them only at night.

The opossum almost got run over by me. It was dark already and, luckily, I was driving slowly. I spotted it in front of my car and stopped. It did not know what to do. It ran a few feet in one direction and then turned around and made it safely to the other side. I was glad I was not in a rush. I never know what I will flush on that road at night. Sometimes it is deer or raccoons. I am just glad I did not run over the opossum.

I made a nightly run for snacks. The convenience/gas station is open twenty-four hours. On the way home (it was dark already) I flushed a baby cottontail who ran back in the same direction he had come from. The next thing I had to do was step on my brakes suddenly to prevent myself from running over a raccoon. He was right in front of me. I even backtracked to make sure I had not run it over. I was relieved. There was no sign of him. I have to be careful driving at night. I never know what I am going to flush next. It could be a deer or turkey or groundhog or an opossum.
