Smarten up, you stinkin' squirrels

Driving to work this morning, I was getting ready to make my way under the telephone wires ahead when I saw not one, but TWO furry little squirrels who had fallen to their deaths from the high wire above. Obviously tight rope walking was not on their resume as skills possessed, but I give them props for attempting such a life-threatening feat. Unfortunately, it proved to be their last attempt.

It reminded me of all the drives to and from Tahlequah on the weekends, driving on Hwy 82 for 20 minutes. To pass the time, sometimes I found myself counting the road kill on the sides of the two lane road. I think the most I ever counted was 37. Morbid...I know.
