  • Ok...so for those of you know me...you know that I like animals.  Hence...I was a biology major in college.  I have a dog (have had several over the years), I have a 6 ft red tail boa, I have had fish, turtles, hampsters, birds and other pets as well growing up.  So...the following story was a bit shocking for me.  (Put this in perspective....I'm the idiot that brakes and puts his flashers on and gets out of the car in the middle of the road to move turtles to saftey).


    So...I'm driving my merry little route to work this afternoon when I see movement off to the side of the road.  Well...isn't that nice...two squirrels chasing each other around some body's front yard.  Perhaps one male squirrel (Alvin) showing Simon who's the boss and telling him to go find nuts elsewhere.  Or perhaps Alvin found an object of beauty and was giving chase.....


    Well...needless to say...the chasee dashed across the road at the exact time an oncoming car happened to be right there.  The front tire squashed the poor little sucker about 8 feet away from my car....tear!


    Welp...that's life!  On to work...


    Ok...so perhaps I wasn't too distraught over the loss of life but it was an unfortunate drama that unplayed right before my eyes....just thought I would share!
