>I was just driving home, passing a woodsy area near here, when a fox ran across the road not 25 yards in front of me. Despite the occasional woods, this is suburbia. In 20 years of living in Chicago and suburbs this is the first fox I have seen. It darted off into the woods.

FWIW, we've occasionally seen a fox in our yard since we've lived here (19 years +). In the last year or two, we've seen a fox a lot more often. This is a first-ring suburb of Philadelphia, so somewhat surprising.
