Last night I was surprised to find a box. I was just about to bend over to pick it up when I saw movement in the planter next to the front porch. At first I thought I was imagining it, but I took an extra couple seconds to make sure and get a good look.
Skunk.
Yep, the skunk found my front door. It was about two feet from my package. And it was looking at me.
I closed the door. I uttered a few choice expletives.
I waited.
I didn't want to leave the package outside all night. I also didn't want to have to de-skunk. After a couple minutes I decided to chance it. I slowly opened the front door again.
The skunk had fled.
Box retrieved safely. Whew!
Considering how often I get a whiff of eau de skunk on the wind, I think I've gotten off pretty light. But I would still like to stop adding entries to skunk sighting.
