"One thing I'd noticed when tired and driving late at night many years ago is that I'd see a dog by the side of the road. I'd get closer and realize it was a bush or some brush."

George, I laughed a little when I read this. My immediate recollection was a time when I small - probably in 3rd or 4th grade. I lived on a farm and it was dusky/maybe even dark. I was walking outside and scared myself nearly to death. I saw what I thought was a large wolf just sitting in the yard watching me. (Makes me wonder if some of these images are hardwired into our mind - I sometimes think I see snakes when they're not there also). I raced back to the house at full sprint with the screen door banging behind me.

Turns out it was a bag of garbage that was just in an odd place in the yard where I hadn't expected it. I didn't figure this out until the next morning when I went out and saw a bag of garbage in the same place where the wolf was sitting watching me!
