Death Cars and Foxes



Originally this event happened around March 24th 2008:

Second fox sighting today: down by the sea at Point Fermin, the fox was sniffing round the tide pools as a snowy egret looked on cautiously. (7:03 AM).


I talked to some morning friends about the fox and the Merlin magic associated with him. Someone kind told me once that the real magic of the world rests in our capacity to truly hear others. Then just as suddenly the fox was up the cliff face and crossed over Paseo del Mar (the major street that runs along the ocean that is full of traffic here in San Pedro) over toward the park and the Korean Peace Bell. I was really happy to see the fox, and smiled with a woman who was astounded by the sighting; however I was scared shitless by the traffic.


I saw one man gunning his car and yelled out "Slow Down!" He turned round and proceeded to try to run me over as I crossed the street at Elanita (I think...). I made a dash for the curb and stood there, with my arms out. I didn't want to yell at him any more, but I wanted to be there with my hands held out wide. He pulled past me and looked back at me. He screamed out his car window at me, "shut the fuck up!" He was latin, with tattoos on his neck and a purple and gold Lakers hat on, a really scary man. I kept wondering what it meant with Merlin, and the real magic of the world being the capacity to hear others. Anyway that's what I guess I just found out about death cars and foxes,
