Semi-Urban Oddities

I was stopped at a major intersection today, car dealership on one side, community college on another, waiting for the light to change, when I saw the gopher crossing the road. He seemed somewhat out of place there, and not entirely comfortable. I waited as the light changed, for the little fellow to crawl under my car and out into the empty field on the other side. And I laughed, because it was so bizarre on so many levels.

And I wondered, as I continued on my way, Why DID the gopher cross the road?

It must have been important...or he'd had a little too much dandelion wine... I think it was important though. I'm pretty sure he was looking for Mrs. Frisbee, to warn her about the plow.
