Neighborhood Stink Patrol
1st skunk stink of spring was smelled last night around 8oclock driving down Silver Lake Blvd. towards Parkman.
Did the skunk see his shadow? Did he see it and become frightened and try and spray his own shadow? Silly Skunk. Probably not, probably just got hit by a car or confronted a feline in someones back yard. Cause ya see, its a skunk, not a ground hog. And I don't buy that whole groundhog thing anyway....but here in Silver Lake, we've got skunks...and I think they deserve some sort of mythology, some sort of purpose except to just stink. But maybe, for me, the first stink of spring will signal the green flag for another spring tradition of mine. The first, and many times the only, Slurpee purchase of the season (fast being replaced by the first Iced Coffee of the season).
So I bid you a Apew. Have a good weekend.
