Things on the side of the road.

damn you trafficI have mentioned my traffic woes on this blog multiple times. I often crawl along the highway at a snail’s pace with little to entertain me.

I sometimes look out my car window at the junk on the shoulder of the road. I pray to see something of interest (a bag of money would be very interesting). But it’s just a litany of the same old crap: bottle caps, cigarette butts, random bits of clothing (shoes and hats mostly), and the occasional hard hat (do construction workers get in trouble for loosing these?).

have you seen my foot?But this week I saw something totally disgusting from my car window. A severed deer hoof!

I see road kill all the time, but this just has me baffled. What the hell happened to the rest of the deer? Did the clean-up crew forget that piece (along with their hard hats)?

If you work on the road kill clean-up crew in Montgomery County, Maryland. I implore you to please come back and pick-up this poor deer’s hoof. It’s driving me nuts looking at it every day.

    I think you’re overlooking a gift from the gods, my friend. If there is so much luck in a severed rabbit’s foot, think of how much extra you’d get from a deer hoof. It’s not as easy to thread onto a keychain, but hey…
