Wednesday Night

So I was out late on Wednesday night walking my dog Riley. It has been getting super foggy at night so I have started bringing my Mag light with me. In the fields the fog gets so thick that the flash light beam turns into some kind of lightsaber. It is pretty fun until you decide to pretend to cut down a near by tree and get the crap scared out of you by a possum.
P.S. My dog is a complete waste....one look at the possum and he actually runs away leaving me and nine thousand needle teeth alone in the dark. Awesome.

HEY YOU GUYS a rousing success!!!
