So these days I have been working 8-4 everyday. Now, if you know me personally, you know that mornings are not kind to me, and I am probably not very kind to mornings. I can hardly put together sentences in the mornings. So, as you can imagine, driving to work at 7:30am I am not necessarily all together. I was in one of those dazes where things are happening more mechanically and out of habit. Well, driving down the one road there was a lot of traffic and I saw a little squirrel darting in and out of cars until it found itself under a metallic goldish SUV where I lost sight of it for a couple minutes. The SUV was two cars in front of me and from where I was I could see that car and the car behind it swerve a little, all the while I am looking for the frenzied squirrel hoping to see it come out the other side alive.
A few anxious seconds pass.
Then suddenly I saw a squirrel dart out from under the SUV and into some bushes on the side of the road. As the cars in front of me recover from their early morning trauma and slowly begin to move forward, I see something lying on the road. As I pull closer to the object in the road... questions of whether or not I was hallucinating a squirrel running to safety were crossing my mind. What was this mysterious object?
It was the squirrels tail, lying dejected on the road.
I have never seen such a thing.
