I am still in Austin and I am scared about running today. My family has informed me of the drought that is affecting Austin and its wildlife. For example, one person reported seeing a wild boar while driving to work early one morning. Another person reported seeing a coral snake in the morning on a walking trail close by. Many people in this area of Austin seem to acknowledge the plethora of rattle snakes, wasps, coyotes, and deer that are roaming the area.
Ignorance in bliss in my case, because yesterday I at least finished my run when I did not have a clue about the wild animal kingdom that was roaming free in people's back yards. Today, I barely finished a quarter of it because I was scared. As I was walking back home, I encountered those wasps and a family of deer trying to run across the street to the woods that I heard other people talk about. I know this, I will not be running in Austin any time soon.
