On my way back from my softball game (we lost) I saw two birds lying in the street. One was dying and the other was serenely watching over the dead one. As my car approached, the little bird walked away a few steps, and then as soon as my car passed, I saw from my rear view mirror he walked back over to watch over the dying bird.
On my way over to the Dark Horse tonight I saw only one bird and I presume it had died and so the second bird left.
On my way back from the Dark Horse I went a different way so that I wouldn't have to see the dead bird. But as I came around a corner a small bunny rabbit darted in front of my car. I slammed on my breaks and it came to a sceetching halt. I winced out loud as I head a gentle cuh-clunk of my wheels running over the rabbit.
So I pulled a U-Turn and went looking for the rabbit to see if it was okay but I'm not sure I saw it. I thought maybe it was hiding in the grass, but it could have been my eyes playing tricks on me. I wonder if it's okay...
And also, did I mention that I killed a squirill a couple of weeks ago? I've never run over anything in my life and now these two things in the past month.
Blech. Oh well, I guess. Maybe I should start driving a little more slowly through my neighborhood.
