We are fine.


Took the dog for her regular evening ride in the Polaris Ranger. It's our thing, once around the block, about four miles or so. As we are on the last leg down the side of the hay pasture fence, I see a kitty coming down the side of the road. As we get closer, l see it's NOT a kitty but a polecat. As we draw near, he looks dead in my eyes and stops.

We pass beside him and he spins away turning to face the ditch, butt toward the road. He lifts his tail, and knowing whats coming...

I stomp the gas ... And look in the rearview mirror.

I see him standing on his front feet, tail pointing straight up...

Missed me.

Tina said he didn't fully miss and sent me back out to spray off the Ranger...
A scrub brush and dawn so the garage wasn't skunk funk this morning.

Sound like you dodged a bullet or spray on that one. Sneaky little devils.

Pass them all the time around here. Never had one try and spray a moving vehicle. It was an overly aggressive action. I did not go back and ask him what the heck his problem was...

Must have been a bad day for him. Maybe his girlfriend kicked him out.

Skunks have the original conceal and carry :-)

I see two skunk road kills within a mile of me. Glad it wasn’t me.

Just call that Polaris the Danger Ranger from now on

That was a close call for sure.
