On my ride this morning, a little mouse was in the middle of the intersection of the Rabbit Road and CO. Raod 21 by Kasota. No traffic. Just me, my bike, and the little mouse with big ears. Little mouse saw or heard my wheel and tore, terrified, off the road and ran full-speed, nose-first, into the bright yellow curb and bounced off. Poor little guy. Then he couldn’t manage to climb the curb, so he had to rush along the gutter looking for a way out of the road. I wonder if mouses’ noses swell when slammed so violently. And I wonder how–unless he’s colorblind–how he missed seeing the curb.
Hours later, I’m wondering about him. Hoping his day got a little better after his morning crash.
