A Good Ol' Fashion Vermont Morning
I just found out my accountant will be late to work this morning. That's not particularly noteworthy, but her reason is. She hit a turkey and it smashed her windshield. She's ok, but I doubt the turkey is and unfortunately she has no windshield left. This was, for the record, right outside Burlington which is a city of 39,000 people. The best part? According to the repair shop she was the third car this weekend that hit wildlife and had to have pieces replaced. Vermont - all the problems of inner city living with the added fun of suicidal wildlife! It's like playing an 80s video game every time you hit the road!

This reminds me of the time I was traveling with two Australians on the islands of Lewis and Harris. We took a bus to see the Callanish stones and, on the way back (in the driving rain) noted how sheep just seemed to cover the island. They were a total pain, too, standing everywhere and not getting out of the way of the giant Scottish bus.
One of the Aussies finally worked up the courage to ask the bus driver (who was a gruff but friendly young fellow), "Have you ever hit a sheep while driving?"
His response: "Er, not with the bus."
ok, now that's funny.
