Interesting stuff on the streets

Around here a ride WITHOUT a dead possum or raccoon would be the unusual part.

I've seen all the usual, small tools, road kill, trash. Because of the fee to take CRT's to the dump you see a lot of those. At one egregious trash site, somebody had dumped about 3 or 4 BROKEN desks on a gorgeous back road (for those who have ridden around here, it's Green Valley) and put a sign up that said "FREE". Like anybody who drove that way was likely to be in the market for a broken desk.

Probably the most unusual collection of items was an empty holster, a briefcase and a clip of bullets. I saw the holster first, turned around and then noticed the other items. I called the sheriff, who asked me to wait because of the live rounds. It took them over 1/2 an hour to get there! Not sure I'll be that good of a citizen again--it made me late for work.

Re: dead possums


Question: Why did the chicken cross the road?

Answer: To show the possums it could be done!

We have possums, raccoons, skunks, rabbits, squirrels & deer.....lots of deer.

On thing that intrigues me is that every now and then I will pass a sign posted on the side of the road that says, "No Dumping". And guess what? Usually nothing is dumped there! I have yet to see a sign that says, "Dumping OK Here" - yet stuff is dumped along the roadways. Are people so stupid/uncaring/callous that they think it's ok to toss stuff if there isn't a sign? Makes me wish we could post one in the sky that says, "NO DUMPING ANYWHERE, ANY TIME!"
