Re: Pavel Possum - newest pest
You guys kill me!!! And make my roadkill tales seem tame! We were driving down a road in England when the car ahead hit a pheasant. We braked and managed to pick it up before he could reverse back and get it - made a great stew!!! Also in Scotland the pheasants were everywhere, and there was one bird ahead of me on the verge. As I approached he took 2 steps forward, 2 steps back , 2 forward, 2 back, then as I passed he ran into the back wheel and all I could see in the rear view mirror was a cloud of feathers - didn't stop for that one!! An avian Darwin awards candidate I think!
And in Australia we were driving non-stop down the East Coast from Cairns to Melbourne (don't ask!) and taking turns with the driving. The kangaroos were everywhere and as we changed drivers as darkness fell and it was my turn to drive, my husband said - don't hit one of those kangaroos as they will wreck the car. Well, they leapt across the road like lunatics but luckily I didn't hit any, and sometime in the early hours we changed drivers again. Well - he hadn't been driving for more than half an hour before he nailed one - I was so glad it wasn't me!! Haha!! didn't pick that one up either!
