Heh... yah... I usually fly into Logan. But now I just get a taxi, or a shuttle, out to the hotel in Natick. Luckily, the hotel is walking distance to the office... way less stress and cheaper than renting a car, as it turns out.
Now we know why the chicken crossed the road....
So the possum would follow and get itself kilt!
I hit a squirrel when I was coming back from one of the recent really-bad interviews. (There have been two really bad ones...) I think he died instantly. Kinda hope so, even for a squirrel.
Turkeys?! Holy smokes. You all don't mess around with your road kill.
I've seen raccoons, but none of the others you mentioned.
Unless decomposition ruled out their identification.
I think the majority of animals back home are killed by idiots driving too fast for the dark and being out on dirt roads. There are always animals around, and you have to keep your eyes open.
People are also routinely injured by hitting deer and moose...but of course those aren't left lying around. I've had to slam on the brakes a few times 'cause of deer, but I try to be careful. And I've been either lucky or smart. ;-)
Now THAT'S strategery!
I've not had TV...don't know that I ever saw it.
Fellowship playin' in the background. I'm kinda sorta watching...;-)
Watch it here.
Heh... ain't it the truth. That may have been the time I got saddled with a car (I won't say what it was in case somebody here has one, and I don't wanna offend anybody...) that was absolutely the *worst* ergonomic design I've ever struggled to drive. Horrible... to the point of almost being undriveable.
Everything was in the least likely place you'd look for it. Turn signals, lights, wipers, seat adjustments... everything. Not only un-intuitive... counterintuitive... like they *intended* for the car to be hard to drive.
You wouldn't ~think~ that the intermittent wipers were controlled by moving the seat backward and forward... but it was almost that bad. :-)
Intead of a left turn signal, you change the radio volume. Instead of headlights, you get washer fluid. On and on and on...
It was a car ~by~ M@ssholes, ~for~ M@ssholes. :-)
Aw, c'mon, tell us what it was! I'm curious!
I'll check it out in a bit - after The Movie.
Fireworks! And music! And pints!
Bilbo throws a great party.
I haven't hit any deer... but I've been in a pickup truck that was hit by a herd of Elk once. Kinda funny, that.
The pickup wasn't moving. The Elk ran into us. ~not~ the smartest critters out there, those Elk.
Bit of a reversal of roles there...
Got run down by a deer once....called him (her?) Deer Earnhardt.
I *liked* that commercial. :-)
I think some animals do that stuff on purpose. Especially crows. Watch 'em... they know what they're doing... :-)
~ouch~ :-)
Ugh! What a nightmare!
Sounds like a Chrysler sedan I once rented. :P
And food! Don't forget the food!
Do you have any duct tape you can spare? My head is about to explode.
I swear, did the President cut some sort of mental health funding and turn all the loonies out on the street again (like they accused Reagan of doing?).
This place is insane.
