Alan's Scare

Here's something interesting that just happened.  We were both on the front porch putting up a string of Christmas lights. We looked across the street and saw a skunk in the front yard of our neighbors.  It walked up on their porch.  The lady opened her door and yelled, "A skunk!!" and slammed the door.  That seemed rather funny to us since she didn't get sprayed.  I got the camera and took a picture of him.  He kept ambling all around the neighborhood.  We called animal control but they don't work on Saturday.  I went on inside and soon heard frantic rapping on the side window.  Alan had been on our porch  plugging in the extension cord when he looked over in the corner, about 4 or 5 feet from where he stood, and there was the skunk looking at him.  Luckily he was able to get off the porch without startling the skunk.  So that's our excitement for the day.  Think we'll just stay inside.
