The other morning as I was leaving for work in the pre-dawn fog, my 
headlights lit up something at the end of the driveway.  There was a grey, 
roughly human shaped outline about 4 feet tall.  It appeared to be standing 
exactly in the middle of the two-lane road I was approaching.  I gently 
slowed to a stop as I approaced the end of the driveway.  Now, because of the 
change in viewing angle, I could see that it was actually standing in the 
neighbor's yard across the road.  Unfortunately, because of the angle change, 
my headlights no longer directly illuminated it.
I was expecting it to be an early-morning jogger in a grey jumpsuit, kid 
waiting for the schoolbus, or something along those lines.  On the odd chance 
it was a burgular, prowler, or grey alien, I got my handcuffs and pepper 
spray ready.  I decided against hitting it with the spotlight because I 
didn't want to spook it. I watched it for a few minutes to see which way it 
was moving, and realized it wasn't.
I pulled out on the road, which changed the viewing angle again, and I could 
see that it was actually rectangular, with dark markings that blended in with 
the fog and distorted the outline.  Driving along a few more yards and 
hitting it with the spotlight, I could read the red letters on the white 
background telling me which candidate I should elect sheriff.
Oh, well.
