SQUIRRELS ARE CUTE BUT A LITTLE STUPID
This sounds a little sick, but on the edges of the nation’s
highways there are a large amount road kill. As I came upon each
victim I made a mental note of the animal type.
I saw cats, dogs, chickens,
a horse, several deer both whitetail and mule, a bobcat, red fox, rabbits, a cow, armadillo,
possums, raccoons, snakes and assorted birds.
The one thing I noticed was how stupid
squirrels can be. I saw over 100 squirrels on the east coast trip alone.
The strangest one was a large bag of
popcorn smashed in the middle of the road with two dead squirrels nearby. I deducted the popcorn was
discarded from a passing car then discovered by one of the squirrels. He then called for his squirrel friend. I know this because squirrels travel in pairs, remember Chip and Dale.
They were probably having a
conversation inside of the bag. Excited about their discovered popcorn stash for
next winter.
Perhaps they noticed the oncoming sound of the pickup truck but it was too late SPLAT!
Two
more dead squirrels on the score board. The long stretches of lonely highway do things to a man's mind...
