The fox evidently had come out of the woods behind the house foraging for an easy meal out of somebody's trash after the blizzard. I was just looking out the window and saw it come zipping by running out to the edge of the street. It stopped there and nervously looked back and forth trying to make a decision and then would zip all the way back behind the house and into the woods. After a few minutes he would make the 300 foot dash to the street edge again. This happened about half a dozen times and then he finally whoosh! zipped across the street between a couple of houses. Hopefully, somebody didn't run him over.The Armadillos were the worst in the early 90's. They explained on TV(the local weather guys)why they were moving this way and it was just that our winters had been warm so many years in a row it allowed them to stay over during the winter and survive. Some maintenance guy at work was asking me once about Armadillo shells (like I would know). He wanted to make something out of their shell. Well, what can I say-hayseed mechanics can have some very odd ideas.
