Hopefully, that fox will find it's way into Jan Brewington's home.

Please don't wish that on any fox, rabid or not 12:13.

I just wanted to say we dealt with the staff at Wor Environmental Health a couple of years ago about a rabies incident. You couldn't ask for a more helpful, kind and considerate, knowledgeable group of people. I know government workers get all kinds of grief so I just wanted to point this out.
