Thinking Ahead To Possible Options And A Worst-Case Scenario by Edward Taylor
I swerved to avoid hitting a squirrel in the center of the road and that's when the deer came charging out of the forest and forced me to hit the brakes for all I was worth and I careened back to the other side of the road just as a skunk came toddling out of Mrs. Bancroft's front yard and I swung back perhaps just grazing it a bit. I glanced quickly in the rearview mirror and in that instant a groundhog waddled from the side of the road and I zigzagged madly and don't know if I nipped it or not because up ahead I could see a coyote stalking the Collier's cat. Oh well, I said, and drove the rest of the way home without incident.
