About midday today I smelled a skunk, and I'm smelling skunk again right now. It's always a bad sign to smell skunk by daylight. They are nocturnal animals and when out by day are usually sick, frequently with rabies. All my feral cats have had rabies shots, but no boosters, so I hope they don't run across a rabid skunk. I'm sure they'd have the sense to avoid a skunk, but it might go after them.
Summer officially ends in less than four hours, and I'm not sad to see it go. But get back to me in February when I'm freezing my arse off and looking at $180+ utility bills, and maybe I'll feel differently.
