The fox, above, was spotted as you see it on the Black Lake Bridge on my second run of the day on Christmas Eve. Jackie had finally succumbed to the flu that morning and I was ignoring my own body aches and chest tightness; still, we had a warm home filled with booze and a sumptuous meal for Christmas Day so the fox cadaver was not to be taken as an omen. In fact, the streak seems to be taking less out of me this year than the last time (London and Oxford, 2017); it is still a lot like taking a beating, to be sure, but the new scenery is keeping things fresh and appealing.
