Wild Animals

We rode the High Bridge trail out to the High Bridge, a long and high railroad bridge crossing the Appomattox river. Grant's army pursed Robert E. Lee over this bridge on their way from Richmond towards Appomattox Court House. We haven't gotten to that point yet in Ken Burn's "the Civil War".
A little cat trotted out from nowhere to greet us.

This morning, on my way in to teach Bridge to my digital students, I got chased by several beagles down the dangerous road to school. Right past Granny B's Market. If anyone asks where we live I say "Across from Granny B's" and they all nod and say "they have the best Fried Chicken"
