I always remember their boldness and the creepiness of seeing headlights reflected in dozens of pairs of eyes -- and having to slow down and wait for them to stroll by because they weren't afraid of my car. Although they aren't supposed to be a danger to humans, there is something quite menacing about them.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665632105920753931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751271189667675662.post-4718629246502304182008-07-17T08:57:00.000-04:002008-07-17T08:57:00.000-04:00Thanks for the correction!
