Bobcat

Didn't feel good most of the day yesterday. My throat was a little congested and I felt like I was catching some of the cough The Boy has had recently. But since it was all neck up I went and ran 6 miles. And actually felt pretty good at the end.

As I got to the end of the north side of the bridge on Lake Forest I saw a bobcat down below. It was right at the edge of the grass where the concrete fans out, picking at something. I stopped and watched it for about 90 seconds. I coughed once and it looked up, determined I wasn't a threat, and then went right back to pawing at the grass. I finally continued and as I looked back it had started to walk into the trees, but stopped for a moment to watch me before continuing. I'm wondering what it survives on in this area. Must be a lot of squirrels in its diet. Anyway, I ran my whole 6 miles, and wondered if that bobcat was watching me from the woods as I ran by the area where I'd seen it.

Later on as I was heading upstairs for bed I got the chills and the coughing got worse. I ended up sleeping late and when I finally got up at noon it had broken. It's been about three and a half years since last time I was sick, which means I can't complain about a sickness that lasts less than a day.
