I was driving home last night after practice, and it was already dark. Let me just say that i DO NOT live in the boonies. The Creek is a rather busy suburbia style town. As i'm driving on the only road i can to go home i see something in the road. At first i thought it was a dog, but nooooo, it was a mutate possum. At least i thought it was mutated cause it look as big as a small horse. I honked at it, thinking it would move, but it just sat there for a good 2 minutes. Finally it wandered off into the grass and away. I suppose i could have ran it over, called it roadkill, and had it for dinner, but i gave it up for lent.
This isn't the first time Nature has invaded my driving. A few months ago i was driving my son to school when i noticed some Canadian Geese hanging out in the median. I slowed down, knowing how those canadians like to cause trouble. Good thing i slowed down, because as soon as i got near them they decided to fly right into my lane. One was so low in front of the car that i couldn't even see it from my seat, so i hit the brakes so i wouldn't run it over. His buddy however did not calculate his path very well and smashed right into my rear side window. That 30 lb. bird bounced off my car, landed on the street and proceeded to walk around my car and into the pond.
All i could think was "i've just been goosed!!"
