Scaredy Cat

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My. We had some friends over for dinner last night. I made pizza and we had soup and salad to go with. These friends happen to be neighbors. They live around the corner, down 1/2 block and up a hill...all tolled six houses away, maybe. Why is this important? Because they reported seeing a fully grown mountain lion sauntering up the driveway a week ago. This is their fifth sighting in five years. Why is this important? Because I run past them just about every weekday morning at 5 am, and runners look just like the prey (deer) that mountain lions like to fee upon.
So this morning, a dark, starless morning, with no moonlight, felt a little creepy. As previously mentioned I carry a flashlight and a robust pepper spray. But having learned how they attack, clamping on the back of the neck, I am not so sure I stand a chance. But run I did. It certainly heightened the senses and added a little spring to the step this morning.
Who is a scaredy cat?
