It is my understanding that possums are badly myopic, on top of everything else, including smelly, cantankerous, and waddling. I like to think that the myopia thing is true, and is reflected in encounters such as what you describe.
Does it count as mad-dogging, if you can't even SEE THE OTHER DOG?
Reminds me of an op-ed I read long ago, about how lucky people with bad vision are, because we can take off our glasses and get all poetic in the blur. Not something you two-eyes would understand.
Also, GRRRRRRRREAT during numb-nuts meetings; it helps when you can't see Brenda--it helps. Sort of like averting your eyes when you spot roadkill well ahead of the car.
