I wanted to post this yesterday morning when I head about it but I didn’t have much info to go on since it was a short passing blurb of a story. I knew it was local, but not sure where, when or most of the details. Nothing was found at the time on the news station’s website, but I found it today somewhere else. Turns out it happened earlier this week on Monday and in Oil City, PA (about 70 mi/113 km from here).

Something happened to a letter carrier who was on her delivery route. She walked up to a house to deliver the mail. She saw an animal, and an animal saw her. She goes about her own business and puts the mail in the mailbox. As she turns around to leave and continue her route, she gets attacked… wham! Kung pow—enter the squirrel!! The full story: Squirrel goes postal. Another evil squirrel related story: The Bushy Tailed Rat.

A bit of a strange sight considering that this is Downtown Pittsburgh and you don’t get to see this type of creature around here in the middle of the city. I could tell it was dark with white fur along its’ back. From the shape and the tail I knew right away it wasn’t a stray cat, dog, squirrel or raccoon for that matter. It was a skunk. Yep—a skunk! A lady nearby also saw the it and mentioned that you usually only see them in the country.

I waited until it crossed the street in a different direction to go about my way. I almost change my route completely. The last thing I wanted to do is get stuck on the same side of the street as this skunk and all of a sudden it gets the jitters or paranoia.

It probably hitched a ride on the back of a pickup truck or something. I can’t imagine it hopped on and off a bus.

Maybe it was on its way to the North Side to see George W. and his wife. I guess it might take it a few hours to get to the North Side on foot and maybe it wanted to get there rather early and before the press. Not sure when they’re (“G.W.” and “L”) due in the North Side but it’s sometime today.

News Flash?: “Big Stink In Republican Party”
