213 miles up I-75, to family fun we go… Or something.
Anyway, Merry Christmas and here’s your Critter Count* for the trip, slightly off due to darkness on our return (bold = updated):
Critters 12 +2
Road Pizza 13
Greasy Spot 1
Deer 1
Raccoons 2
Skunk 1
Opossums 2
Weird stuff:
Hard Hat 1
Random Wad 1+1
Coke Bottle 1
(presumably full of pee – unverified. EEWWW!)
*all dead unless otherwise noted or inanimate
So, I’m back! Yay!
To amuse myself, I count things while driving: dead animals, live animals, hitch hikers, tumbleweeds, etc. When I started reading the list, it became funny to me, so I’d like to share Critter Count 08 (all are dead unless noted):
Coyote (alive) 1
Coyote 9
Dog (alive) 2
Dog 1
Cat 2
Skunk 2
Opossum 2
Deer 6
Hawk 2
Chicken (I SWEAR!) 1 (apparently crossing the road! Ha!)
Armadillo NONE! How weird is that?
Unknown Varmint 18
Unknown Bird 3
Road Pizza dozens
Greasy Spots dozens
Hitch Hikers (alive) 2
Tumbleweeds couple dozen crossing the interstate – not as many as you’d think!
And the game for tumbleweeds is to shout TUMBLEWEED!! every time one goes across the road.
Yes, I’m easily amused. :-)
