fox attack on the Custis Trail

I don’t want to hit a squirrel or a bunny, but I seriously don’t want to get hit by a deer at Monster Cross:

I laugh every time I watch that. And I’ve watched it several times now.

If hell exists, I’m so going there.

My favorite part is when he gets hit by the deer.

No, not really. My favorite part is watching the riders look down on him as they ride on–as if this were some normal thing and they couldn’t be bothered.

And of course, let’s not even bring up what does the fox say: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofNR_WkoCE

My friend, ballston runner, reported the bizarre fox attack to animal control last night. They said they may put out flyers. But be on the lookout in that area. And if anyone knows the other young woman who was running, encourage her to see a doctor. ballston runner went to the ER last night and is getting the rabies vaccine.

More news on this fox…looks like animal control just needed a stroller to get attacked to take it seriously as a possible rabies case.

So I live in the neighborhood where the original attack took place. I wanted to alert my neighbors, so I posted a note to the neighborhood listserve. 20+ emails later, including one that just pasted in the lyrics to “What does the fox say” … facepalm.
