Standoff with a raccoon
I went running last night, as I do sometimes (although not often enough) and decided to go down this park path that I never have gone down before. Well, I was about 15 ft. along the path when I saw that there was a small animal in front of me wandering down the path too. I thought it was a raccoon and as I got closer and it turned around, I saw that it indeed was a raccoon! I continued to get closer and it just stayed put and stared at me. I got closer and it stood its ground, continuing to stare at me. I looked at its claws and knew that it was probably full of disease and disgustingness.... and I promptly turned around and decided that I would go a different route.
Am I wimp or what? I'm about 20 times bigger than it (well, at least 10 times) but I just didn't like that it wasn't moving, wasn't afraid of me and I didn't want it scratching me and giving me rabies!
