Driving home tonight (about half an hour ago), I've gone out of my way giving someone a lift, and so am on the back-roads.

Then suddenly, a rabbit in the road. I brake, he darts left. I pull the other way (after checking my rear view). Then he changes direction, it's all I can do to try to line him up to hopefully pass between the wheels and under me. But he makes one last gasp lunge for the curb.
*Thud* (I believe head on bumper)
*Crunch* (I feel him go under the wheel)

I go out of my way to avoid even killing insects, I even bottled out of killing the first ants to appear in the kitchen this year. So I'm not feeling too good about it. I remember driving to the test centre before my first driving test. A small dog ran into the road, and I braked to let him through. My instructor told me that would have failed me my test, and that I should consider it 'dead already'. But that doesnt really wash with me.


Oh well, I guess on one level it's a reminder that someone's always had a worse day than me :^(

Pff, at least my pheasant story had a Finding Nemo feel.

Heh, cringe-mingling.

On a long trip up to Devon recently there were a couple of badgers lying dead in the road, not a pretty sight. Are you an animal lover or just an environment carer?
