Ok all you pups gather around while Dr Dave tells you a story. one time a long long time ago the good Dr Dave took a 4hr drive with BatMan at his side. Yes that winged Avenger himself......well almost...
.... It was a cold rainy night in Youngstown Ohio I had just picked up a load of paper going to Shity-cargo it was about 3am and i had to fly. as i pulled up onto I-80 i hear a thud!!!
..As i look around trying to see what i had hit i see this brown paper thing stuck flat to the outside on my mirror. I thought nothing of it at first but then i see this tiny claw....
.... I had been hit by a BAT it was stuck there on the mirror, Well i knew it was dead the impact alone would have killed it, but it got me to thinking, thinking about all the poor critters ive nailed in such fashion over the years.
..By time i made Cleveland i was thinking about the time i hit a owl, poor ol hooty, the thing almost came though the windshield....
..... Totally Wasted that pair of shorts..
.... By time i made Detroit i was remembering a road trip my buddies and i were taking to ElPaso to go check out the........whor..
.....HORSES...
... thats it we were going after Horses
Hey i hadn't yet meet MISS DOC ie the BOSS. anyway... as we were running along I-20 out of Pecos Tx we see this snake going cross the road ahead of us. looked to be about a 6ft Rattlesnake so i took aim and BAM Nailed it...
....and flipped it right up and into the side window which yes was open in the 100* heat of the day...
.... Well turns out was only a VERY PIST OFF NOW A 5 1/2 ft BULL SNAKE but hey, I didnt like that car anyway as we all 4 bailed when it cleared the window, the car was his...
.. and you wouldnt believe how hard asphalt really is at 60...
... But by the time i made the Indiana state line i was thinking about Bambi the deer i hit just outside Cuba Mo. WOW what a mess, I was getting passed by another truck we were running about 60 when the truck next to me hit his brakes hard, and in that instant a big ol 6 pointed stepped out from in front of that truck into my path. as i hit him i remember thinking the look on his face was that of relief that he had missed the 1st truck then horror of realizing he wasn't gonna miss the 2nd truck
I held firm and it was over in less than a second. $3500 worth of deer meat shoot out the back...
..to bad that nice lady was following to close behind me.. I bet it took her all day to wash him off her car...
.. anyway by the time i made Shitty-Cargo i was remembering the little brown road guest i had stuck to my mirror, I thought, you know hes come this far and never even asked to stop and pee. I thought id give him a proper burial, He did after all bring back so many fond memories thats the lest i could do, right? So i pulled into the T/A at ex 6 and started rolling down the window, when as i came to a stop he slowly slid down the mirror like ice melting off a window, but when he reached the bottom he didnt fall away he was hanging on.. yep, he was still alive and trying to get his bearings, After a few moments of fluttering without so much as a thanks for the ride, he flew off. Now all the way im thinking this little guys dead, But now im thinking i wonder what HE was thinking all the way... DOES THIS GUY EVER STOP TO PEE??? It makes you wonder. But there it is my trip with BATMAN i hope you enjoyed it...I did.
