I was driving home one day in a pretty good rain storm. I got off one highway to get onto another and this exit was a pretty long overpass. As I was reaching the top of the overpass, there on top of the concrete railing was a large, rain soaked possum peering down over the edge of the railing. It looked like it was thinking about jumping, and their eyesight is so poor, there’s no way he could see the highway some 30 feet below. I’ve always remembered that strange sight and wondered if he did jump.
They aren’t jumpers. Really clingy.
