Happened to me too. Hot sunny day on a flat straight freeway. Half asleep, hypnotized by the bordom.

WHAMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!

I literally started going into shock. My extremities started tingling, I began hyperventilating.

Had to stop and get out of the car to pull myself together.

X-rays did not find any fractures, head trauma or internal injuries. The owl received fluids and pain medications from the veterinary staff.

Owlbamacare.

Yeehaw Junction.

From Wiki:

The junction's name "Yeehaw" comes from the Seminole tribe in origin and means "wolf", referring to wolves that inhabited the area. According to town historians and several original newspaper articles that are displayed at the Desert Inn and Restaurant National Historical site, the town was originally named "Jackass Junction". This name was given to the four-corner site back in the early 1930s, when local ranchers rode on burros to visit the Desert Inn (then the local brothel). As the 1950s approached, the Florida legislature felt that a name change was due in light of the construction of Florida's Turnpike through the center of the community in 1957, resulting in renaming the town to its present-day name.
