After work tonight, I took my oft usual walk east for half a mile on the arroyo trail. It was cooler as a brisk breeze blew against me on my way out. The sun was in golden-orange hour for half of my stroll. Near my turn-around point, I spied this creature peering out at me. A black blob. Oh, but a fine kitty of a critter. It stayed at its station as I neared and passed its yard. When my little side-loop circled back in the direction of its home, as the sun dropped below the horizon behind me, I saw it had been relieved of its duty and had abandoned the rail and plopped down to find other entertainments.
