It gave us a chance to do a little family bonding, part of which was a game we called "Name that Roadkill".
Kansas roads and highways are rife with many different species of roadkill this time of year, and that's the basis for this week's poll. What is the species of roadkill you've seen most recently?

Not roadkill, just a comment. It seems that kids with those newfangled scooters can't stay off the streets. I now drive super-slowly through any residential area because I'm terrified that a kid will shoot out of nowhere.
ReplyDeleteI think that maybe an earlier comement I made about natural selection and evolution might be applicable to that scenario, HIB.
ReplyDeleteDriving home from Eureka Springs, we saw a number of dead armadillos. Fun armadillo fact: They're the only organism other than humans that can carry the virus that causes Hansen's Disease, which is the pen name Leprosy uses when it isn't being cured by messiahs. But they sure are the cutest little leprosy incubators I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteI saw a dead armadillo on I-70 last week. There were NEVER armadillos in Missouri when I was growing up. Global warming?
ReplyDeleteI think it was a turkey.
ReplyDeleteStayed home sick today. Late morning I looked out of the bedroom window & saw a doe with 2 speckled fawns playing on my lawn. Hope they don't become roadkill.
ReplyDeleteIf you felt good enough to look out the window, you felt good enough to go into work, you slacker!
ReplyDeleteA couple weeks ago we made two trips to South Dakota and back and were amazed at the number of dead turtles on I-29. And at the size of them.
ReplyDeleteIt even inspired a rare post:

Dan- After YOU experience a period from Hell you can call me a slacker! I'm looking forward to menopause! I slept with the heating pad till after 4pm.
