Shortly after I moved to south Louisiana, I was riding in a car with a coworker who pointed out the proliferation of road-kill armadillo decorating the roadway. He said, "I bet you don't see anything like that up north." I told him in my native western PA, it wasn't exactly like that, because it was deer instead of armadillo.
He thought I was kidding.
There’s nothing in the middle of the road but a yellow stripe and dead armadillos.

In many areas, deer approach the status of vermin, large economy sized rats on the hoof.
“Shortly after I moved to south Louisiana, I was riding in a car with a coworker who pointed out the proliferation of road-kill armadillo decorating the roadway. “
That sparked a memory from when I was a little kid in the car riding on a section of Interstate in Louisiana that had just recently opened. The Armadillo carnage along the roadside was spectacular.
