We used to live on a dark winding road and people were always hitting cows and it did a lot of damage to cars and cows.<BR/>Were I live now it is mostly racoons people's pets and the poor little squrils who can't seem to make up their mind to run to safty or dive under a tire.doubleknothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770447988787944018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20121523.post-1147130767584668502006-05-09T09:26:00.000+10:002006-05-09T09:26:00.000+10:00Check holtieshouse for an announcement.

I was sure they had volunteered, and I am very glad you have the help, because the yard work can be very hard especially if you have a bad back(like me) or any other health concerns.<BR/><BR/>Darn that wind anyway! Blowing Jo's hard work all over the place like that! I had the exact thing happen to me this last(for us) fall too!<BR/><BR/>Funny jokes(again!) and I love the revenge on the gossip!<BR/><BR/>Road kill--in my neck of the woods is neither possums or skunks, and occationaly someone's pet cat or dog, and the occational coyote that dosen't get out of the way fast enough!<BR/><BR/>Janice~Janice Seagraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576031935823587485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20121523.post-1147061342136192792006-05-08T14:09:00.000+10:002006-05-08T14:09:00.000+10:00The time to see lots of roadkill, especially kanga...The time to see lots of roadkill, especially kangaroos here, is during times of drought, when the animals come to the road verge for any green pick.<BR/>They are mostly hit by Trucks which seem to travel at night more than cars, very often after 30/40 wheels have run over them they no longer pose a problem for other vehicles.<BR/>BTW you get to enjoy that Liquid Amber in colour so it's only fair that you rake up some leaves, great compost for you vegie garden too.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835936655590583808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20121523.post-1147058686115269342006-05-08T13:24:00.000+10:002006-05-08T13:24:00.000+10:00Ever since my kids were small we've always said, "...Ever since my kids were small we've always said, "Shh, he's sleeping" when we've seen a dead animal on the road.

Of course, where I live the only kangaroos are in zoos.<BR/><BR/>I once lived in a small town in southern Indiana that had a café owned by a woman named Eddie.
