a wolf angel is not a good angel

Last night, my family went for ice cream. I had a delicious ice cream, which made up for a disappointingly bad dinner. (First, we had reservations somewhere for 7; at 10 to 8, they were just about to seat us, but rudely (what, we should expect an apology for being an hour behind? imagine!); we walked out. I would have walked out by 7.30. The owner burns through a lot of customers by being an ass, but somehow he always has more. Then I had a sandwich, which was so bad I didn’t even eat it. I did eat bits of other people’s food, and then coffee! Delicious coffee!)

Eventually we went down to York Beach for ice cream at Brown’s. The ice cream was great, the service not so stellar, but only in my line. I’d say it was the guy’s first night working, anywhere, ever.

And then we went to sit down and realised, everyone likes Brown’s ice cream.

Most people then refused to sit at the tables, what with being afraid of the spray, but we figured (correctly) that it was used to people and unlikely to spray unless we did something stupid. I had never realised how ferret-like skunks looked, long and skinny. I always thought they were more beaver-shaped. But they’re not, except a bit around the tail.

Then another skunk came out. They did a nose sniff, not the butt sniff (imagine), then tussled a bit. They have almost high-pitched squeaks. They’re very weird little things.

Apparently they come for dinner near-nightly.

(Proper photo resizing tonight or tomorrow.)
