Menace to Sobriety
Bad sight recently - Bird was in 3 pieces.. slowed me to a crawl for a couple minutes and demolished the last 4 miles of my run to a stupid pace. I've seen more than a dozen flattened birds and it's a regular thing, but this hit a nerve.
Larry? Say it ain't so.
Seriously though, maybe some West Nile in your area?
Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.
This is only funny because I think the guy deserved it.
It was one of those July days that it was so hot you couldn't stand to be outside more or less be running. I was out because it was the only time I could get my miles in.
So a bind guy is out with his guide dog. His poor dog obviously was suffering from the heat and had none of the business of helping his owner. He led the guy off the walkway and into a tall grass culvert to get shade. Dude was swearing every word in the book at his dog, who wouldn't move for nothing.
Gotta have some respect for your pooch.

Today in the woods: a bunny's head, just the head. Sad.
Sad because someone had beaten you to the rest of the body?

Spam on the ground...ew...
In Hawai'i, this is known as "a picnic at the beach"
Doc, my tooth hurts
A couple since this is my first post in the thread.
I saw a condom (I'm not sure if used or unused) in the parking lot of my old apartment building right as I was starting a run.
This story is via my step dad who is also a runner, but I think it's worth mentioning
I guess my dad was running in the winter so he was running on the road since there was some snow on the grass. He was running against traffic and jumped up onto the thin layer of snow on the grass and noticed something a few steps later. He kicked it to make sure it was the real deal, and it was....a gun. He's pretty handy with guns being an owner of multiple guns and picks it up, sure enough, it's loaded. He says he thinks about keeping it for a second and then he flags a car down and calls the cops. He says the reason he didn't keep it was because if it was stolen or something he could have gotten in a lot of trouble. I dont' think I'll ever find anything more interesting on the ground than that.
A very nice straw cowboy hat.
Yesterday I found a mockingbird stuck to tar stripe in the road. Flat on his back both wings stuck in the tar. I peeled him or her lose, and the bird flew off. Do not know if it will live, but at least it wont died glued on its back to a parking lot in the hot Texas Sun.

used condom...DONT want to know how it got there- it was in the middle of a residential area in a good part of town.
You don't think the people in the "good part of town" ever bump uglies?
Or maybe someone from the "bad side of town" dropped it.
And no, I didn't join in. I promptly changed my run to be a few streets over as there were one too many naked butts (and sausages for that matter, ugh) for me to enjoy my run on that route.
I almost forgot...I saw a big, ugly, dirty bra on the side of the road during my 20 miler on Sunday. I wonder if there was a funny story behind that garment on the road.
