Porcupine!
I was coming home this evening right at dusk. As I approached my house, I spotted an animal on the side of the road. At first I thought it was a skunk but as I got closer, I saw that it was a porcupine! A big, fat porcupine. I stopped the car and rolled down the window so the kids could see. It was raining lightly but there was enough light for a good look. After a few seconds the critter turned and ambled back in to the woods.
