Come on I dare you.......


So.... I'm driving today and there is a squirrel in the middle of the road. I am not one to run over innocent little animals. I will slam on my breaks to save even the littlest of frogs hopping in the rain. It makes me sad when I see dead animals in the road and I'm sure they could have been saved but some stupid friggin' idiot hit them any way. So back to my friend the squirrel. There he is standing in the road facing me with an acorn in his mouth. I wait... he stares... I inch the car forward slightly... he takes a few small hops... I inch again... he hops again with wild determination in his eyes... I coast a little farther.. he runs at the car and then darts into a yard. I stop dumb founded because I think I may have played chicken with a squirrel and won. Is that possible?

I love squirrels!! They are so animated and lively. I too love animals and am very sensitive with any kind of being hurt or killed. I guess that's one of the reasons that I'm a vegetarian and a Buddhist.

I ran over a raccoon one time while driving at night and I'll never forget how sad I was.
