What a nice morning for a walk-a-bout. When I left it was –6C and the ground was frozen so it was easier to walk then in the mud of the last couple of days. Not much of a moon out there so it was a bit darker than normal, but the stars were shining brightly.
I started out with a smaller dog come running and snarling at me within 1 minute of starting off. Neighbour was out with his 3 dogs to let them have a pee break. They are all smaller type animals. One of them got loose of his leash and came charging at me snarling away. At least the neighbour was right there to take control of his dog. After all I sure didn’t want to put a size 12 down it’s throat so early in the morning 
I finally got to the far edge of town and was walking up to this one house that has a lot of trees and bush around the doorway. The streets are quite dark as well. The owner has a homemade mailbox made out of wood and is fairly large to accommodate a couple days papers. Just as I reached to drop off the paper his motion light finally came on and out jumped a cat that had been sitting on the mailbox. The cat headed one way and I looked to head the other way. Of course my heart was just a racing but at least I didn’t scream.
I did mutter an obscenity however and had my head on a swivel for the rest of the walk home . . .
