So, I'm guessing that everyone, at some point in their lives, will end up literally crushing some poor defenseless creature's hopes and dreams beneath their front tires.
Of course, possums (or opossums, as some people call them) are most typically associated with roadkill, though roadkill can include anything from bugs to people... twisted
Anyway, I just had my first roadkill experience, yesterday, on my way to Ban Chan has thin bones' house... It was a such a nice and sunny day--I wasn't expecting defenseless animals to scuttle across the road, but of course, one did...
I really don't know why, but for some reason, when the poofy black and white animal came into my line of sight, my brain didn't process it as a threat. Once I realized that an animal was coming my way, I tried to slow down (I was going 50mph--the speed limit) but that was my fatal mistake.
If I had kept my speed, the animal would have escaped injury by being between my tires and rather than beneath them. Of course, about two seconds before I ran over the thing, I realized it was a skunk...

I think that the skunk survived long enough to walk away from the scene, because I caught a glimpse of of it waving its tail in my rear view mirror. Now of course, my car smells rancid, and I have no choice but to drive it...
And Ban Chan, I'm so sorry for bringing my skunked car to your house... xd
