Skunk?!

I was at Tamara's house on saturday, and we were getting out of my car (right in front of her house) and we saw what we thought was a raccoon in the ditch. Tamara opened the door and looked at it, and it was actually a skunk! Figure that out, don't know how it got to Tamara's house, it isn't near the edge of the city. So we drove around a bit first, and then we ran very quickly into her house.
