Earth Day - ran over a squirrel this morning

Recommended Posts

Did he run most of the way across the road, then stop, look at you, then turn and try to make it back to where he came from?



They always do that shit. They are one of the stupidest motherfuckers ever when it comes to deciding what to do in front of an oncoming death mobile. I have run over my fair share over the years.

You know that insurance commercial where the squirrel runs out in the road and stops, and the driver swerves to avoid and crashes? Then its buddy comes up and they do the fist bump? Yeah, ain't happening with me. :|:P

I'll slow and brake if I can do so safely, but I aint swerving for no goddamn squirrel.

I don't think deer are as smart as squirrels, and they do a lot more damage.

Morning sun was in my eyes and the road was dark from building shadows, so I didn't see it until I was about five feet from it. It was kind of running in circles in the middle of the road, and may have been hit or spooked by a granny bus ahead of me.

The thing is they used a squirrel to promote road safety to children in the UK during the 70's, which given the number of dead squirrels by the roadside, never struck me as a good idea.:P

I hope you took it home and cooked it...fresh road kill shouldn't be wasted.

If you kill it you gotta eat it...thats what earth day is all about isn't it?.

You could even make a hat out of the skin...Dan'l Boone style....

Sometimes deer are unpredictable. Sometimes they shoot out from nowhere right in front of you. I had one hit me one time. Got lost out in the woods, noticed a young one trying to angle across the road. I wasn't going to have enough time to stop so I gunned the gas and it whanged off my driver's side. Left a head-sized dent in the front quarter panel. Better that than fucking up my front end/tripping the air bag. I've had 3 near misses as well.

I hit a deer just outside of Mora, New Mexico one time and it involved three clouds of tire smoke.
1. Me slamming on the brakes
2. A pickup truck with two guys in it coming the other way slamming on his brakes.
3. The pickup truck burning rubber as it was leaving with the deer in the bed.

Don't feel so bad. When my daughter was 17, she ran over the Easter Bunny. :oB|

She was devastated. Her first road kill, and it was on Easter morning.



The only time I've seen a wild badger was just before I ran over it with my car. :(

I think someone stole your kill. That's a hangin' offense right there.


Deer rustlin' brings in mo' dough though, Joe.
