squirrelslaughter
gabe's posting about an unfortunate run in he had with a bird, reminded me of a rather traumatic experience that occurred on burnside st a few years ago. i think it happened because i didn't knock on wood and ended up jinxing myself.i was driving along in my two tone blue '84 limited edition buick skyhawk thinking about how i've seen so many dead squirrels on the road but that i've never seen one hit by someone, nor had i hit one myself (not thinking i would need to knock on wood for such a thought). less than 2 minutes later (i swear it was not more than two minutes) a squirrel ran out in front of the car ahead of me. i think that the car in front of me just barely clipped it and it was still moving and began the struggle to get up and get out of the road. i attempted to drive around it and somehow avoid running over it, but instead i ran right over it and, looking in my rearview mirror, saw that i had succeeded in flattening it (gross!) ! i felt so horrible! before i looked away from the mirror i saw the car behind me roll right over it as well . . . at least it was out of its misery.
i hope it went to squirrel heaven . . .
