Wish I Could Unsee This

I was going for a hike in the woods. A popular and somewhat public wooded area around the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. Anyway, I’m out a bit farther than normal, and I pass a clearing…I look at it, and there is some kind of furry convention going on—about 15 rather overweight people dressed as animals. I slow down and stare a little bit, and say “Hey.” A very fat man with a tail and raccoon ears says, “Hey” back. Silence. I kept going and didn’t look back.
