(Does That Make Me Crazy?)

I like to run over dead squirrells in the road.
There. I've said it.
(Does that make me crazy?)

When I see a dead one in the road (not live ones, mind you) and I don't have to move into oncoming traffic, I just run over it.

I wouldn't run over big animals. Dogs or cats or beavers or skunks. Well, unless Sarah S was in the car with me, and then I would hit a dead skunk because she likes the smell.
(Does that make her crazy?)

And snakes. Oh, I LOVE to run over snakes, dead or alive. I feel like I am doing the world a favor. I live by the motto, "The only good snake, is a dead snake!" (apologies to Ryan N)

When we lived outside the city limits of Austin, I was driving my little VW bug home from work one night and saw a huge rattler stretched out in the road in front of our house. I took dead aim. When I looked in my rear view mirror, it had coiled up. So I backed up and hit it again. He kept moving, so I kept trying to squash it. Then my dog, Gus came running out (pre leash law era) and I was afraid he would get too close, so I pulled in the driveway and took Gus inside.

I called a neighbor to please get his gun and shoot the snake. When he got to the middle of the road, there was a greasy spot but the snake was gone. I just had to assume that I had harmed it enough to not do too much damage.

Maybe in some way, I'm not running over cute little dead squirrells, I'm just still trying to kill that beast of a rattlesnake.

I've been thinking about what I will do when I see an alligator in the road. What if he bites my tires and there I am stuck on top of an alligator with a flat? It's illegal to shoot 'em. I already checked.

No, for now just dead squirrells and snakes, and sticks that look like snakes.

But me?

Drive over an alligator?

Are you crazy?

Baby Mark

Just wanted to put up a little photo of our grandson, Mark. He's already a month old. Matt & Kyla are so great with him.

Yesterday was Drew's 50th birthday. He is totally silly about this baby! On his 25th birthday, he was holding his 2nd son, Scott. I love that their birthdays are the same day. Yesterday, Scott called me to wish me a "Happy Giving Birth Day!"
Makes me want a piece of cake...
