I told my friend Clive that when I came home Saturday evening around 8:15, sitting in front of my apartment building's door was an opposum. I asked him, if he knew whether this event might have any symbolic meaning that he was aware of? "I know about a black cat crossing my path, but a 'possum?" I wondered.

Clive replied, "Wildlife has been appearing on doorsteps all over America."

Clive has always been wise.
