You know, because you hear about police finding murder victims body parts in plastic trash bags?! <br /><br />I used to wonder what happened to the dead animals you see while driving. They would be there one day, gone the next. Did they pay someone to come and pick them up? Turns out they do. I got stuck behind the roadkill truck once. I could give you more details, but it might ruin your day!Willoughbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15260987219988824912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-36287152850548557202010-11-23T02:47:29.704-08:002010-11-23T02:47:29.704-08:00She could be like my sister who drives around with...She could be like my sister who drives around with a shovel in the car to move them......People Who Know Me Would Say:https://www.blogger.com/profile/04621641188403948733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-19118688698089404572010-11-23T01:07:42.364-08:002010-11-23T01:07:42.364-08:00On the way to work, the main kinds of roadkill I s...On the way to work, the main kinds of roadkill I see are pheasants (which are beautiful but exceptionally stupid!) and badgers. I suspect that most of the latter wander into the road half dead already because, although they are protected, they carry the TB virus and it is not unknown for farmers to lay illegal poison to protect their herds.Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13357761230206692089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-31354926218179824962010-11-22T20:19:51.874-08:002010-11-22T20:19:51.874-08:00When I was little I actually believed that 'po...When I was little I actually believed that 'possums were flat.Judiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778815502961000469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-77671943600544610202010-11-22T20:09:36.913-08:002010-11-22T20:09:36.913-08:00Jenny, May you and your family have a Blessed Tha...Jenny, May you and your family have a Blessed Thanksgiving...bkmsigned...bkmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558304976280070986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-43961248259914161432010-11-22T19:50:52.496-08:002010-11-22T19:50:52.496-08:00Wadded up paper towel?

I wondered why so many rugs fell in the fall/winter months instead of the spring/fall months. Parents are interesting with their ploys. And I love that you saw so many paper towels.
