Hey /out/, I went on a 5 hour walk today at a huge park and everything was going well, lots of shade and tall trees and view of the mountains etc...but when I was going back to leave this really fat squirrel with his other squirrel friend was in the middle of the road and when I moved out of the way he started to follow me and trying to start something. I thought about it, but I had low cut socks and thought if I get bitten I might get rabies or something. I felt like I shouldn't have stepped down and walked away that easy, did I make the right choice? And what if I see him again on the next hike?

He was bigger than the one in the pic, but you get the idea.
