A few years ago, it was a juvenile moose I met on the way home from Bat Goddess & Curmudgeon's. This year, it was a juveniled bear. Well, I didn't get that good a look and it was trying to get out of the road, but it was about 4' tall, black and fury.
I'm going to be deflating for a while. There isn't a table big enough, but I'm thankful for my friends, and I wish I could be with all of them today.
