Cottontail - with a death wish. It had already crossed the road but turned back and ran down the middle of my lane for a while before deciding it was ready to let me pass and veered on across the road and let me by. Around another curve or two was a normal cottontail. It finished crossing, sat on the side of the road and watched me go by. (2)
