Foxy . . .

On our morning constitutional today, Dempsey and I ran into some wildlife in the hood. There was a curious fox hanging out in the intersection of Florida and Grant, taking in the morning sights. As we got closer, a car came past and the fox dove into the depths of the storm sewer faster than the DJIA went below 10,000 yesterday.


Mr. Fox did pretty much the same thing as the graph, made the plunge and then poked his head up out of the sewer for a look . . . before disappearing all together.

In these turbulent times, we find ourselves having to scrimp and save, making the most of what we have while trying to maintain lifestyle expectations. Even in Colorado, a state with one of the highest rates of SUV ownership, change is becoming evident.



Some might say this guy is a maverick . . . given the other SMART in the foreground, I'm confident it is a case of some good, old fashioned, tongue in cheek tomfoolery. Upon more research, the car above has some serious equipment under the . . . uh, the whole thing. It has an engine and transmission from a Mercedes Benz Unimog. It still would have been nice to see some car smashing action though.
