If you're thinking to yourself...
"It's so nice to be the first one at work, for once. I'm going to make sure that my boss knows that I was here bright and early!
Well, seeing as nobody's around, it can't hurt to get caught up on some Journeys of The Zoo posts that I've been meaning to read such as that one about Brownies."
Newsflash!
You forgot to set your clock back!
You know, that whole "Spring Forward, Fall Back" stuff that people have been writing about for days. Don't worry, it happens in the best of families.

Have you ever been near an animal after it's been sprayed by a skunk? Let me tell you, the smell is so rancid that it makes you want to vomit.
Yes, that bad.
How do I know?
Note that this is not an actual picture of a skunk. It may or may not be accurate, however, I wouldn't know as I've thankfully never seen one.
For the third year in a row, Reina has gotten sprayed. It always happens in the first two weeks of November. Until tonight, we thought that it was because the hunters were driving the skunks out of the woods (we live on 15 acres, 10+ of which is wooded), however, it's not hunting season. Full moon? A few days late for Halloween? Anyone?
FYI, if you're thinking that we should purchase shares in "Tomato Juice" stocks, not necessary. A mixture of 500ml of Hydrogen Peroxide (not previously opened), 1/4 baking soda and a dollop of soap (to make it frothy) works like a charm.

If you read this year's Halloween post and thought, "it's great to hear about the arrival of the UPS Guy with your Halloween treats butwe'd much rather see pictures of the kids". Then please take note.
