36 Pickled Eggs 
Tonight, as I went for a run by the beach with my headlamp, I encountered a beach rat (mouse?) on the path in front of me, running in the opposite direction. We both startled in mid-stride. I zigged and they zagged! Whoops! I zagged and they zigged! Oh no! I zigged and they zagged again! Christ, we are going to intersect! I yelped and jumped and they did a 120 degree bolt out of the path of me as I landed in view of another runner looking very confused and giving me a lot of room!
I wonder if that mouse is home composing a similar post on a mastodon instance for rodents.
It is events like these that make me wish I ran with a gopro. Nah, too much hassle. But, I'd really love to have footage documenting what a goof I am running around Japan.
It's a little known fact that mice prefer Mastodon for SNS over FB and X, because they can be anonymouse.
