Tales of Intrigue

Developing a Penchant for Fox Urine

Chipmunks hate it — and I have come to love it — When a friend called recently and asked what I was up to, I told her that I was in the process of ordering fox urine online. Although friends and family are accustomed to me not doing things by the book, this definitely wasn’t a response she was expecting. But I…
