we can walk the streets safely again

possibly. on my way to work, i saw a dead animal in the middle of the road. as i approached it, i noticed it was black and white and upon sniffing the air thereabouts, confirmed that it was a skunk. now, i don't know if this is the gigantic mutant skunk that heath almost ran into (on foot), but it might have been. either way, it is one less skunk haunting the streets of evanston.

on an entirely unrelated note, i'm stupidly hungry right now. it's all i can do to not run down to the break room and buy poptarts.* i had oatmeal, but am hungry again. grr. maybe i'll go buy a healthy something out of the vending machine...

*on monday i bought poptarts and proceeded to have far too much difficulty with them. one of them slipped between the side of the toaster and the little shelf that raises and lowers your toasting food. this led to serious poptart carnage and ended up costing me about 5 minutes digging the gooey shards out of the toaster with a (plastic) fork. so i'm scared of them now, despite their deliciousness.
