Re: Do you believe in GHOST?

Excellent point Tim--and something else, our highways are well marked.
Virginia has good rest areas--the first one after get out of West Virginia & get into Vga is nicer than my house.  Seriously, it's top shelf all the way.  Never wiped my feet on the mat before going into a rest area, but I did for that one.
Not that we're talking about west virginia here but I'm going to anyway, last time driving through on the way to Virgina Beach (where my wife is from), I saw the wildest road kill ever--a black bear.  I'm not kidding you, this thing got hit good--it exploded....but a bear....that's pretty cool.
Maybe that could be a new topic--coolest roadkill you ever saw.

Re: Do you believe in GHOST?

Been chased by a black bear on the road.  I was driving a Mercury Bobcat at the time, which was nothing more than a Ford Pinto with extra chrome.  Frankly, I was a little worried.  The road was windy enough that I couldn't speed up much and the bear was keeping pace at just over 30mph. 

As far as road kill, armadillo.  I understand it's normal for western folks, but for this Appalachian hillbilly, when I went to see my Dad at his new home in Little Rock, Arkansas, I don't think I'd ever seen an armadillo alive but I saw a whole lot of them dead on the side of the road.  Saw some roadrunners running alongside the road.  That was a lot less scary than a bear.  Not scary at all really. 

None of the roadkill came back to haunt me as a ghost. 

The Mercury Bobcat did.  Had a Chevy Malibu come back to haunt me for real.  I gave the daggone thing away and I STILL got it back somehow.  I guess the guy didn't understand THIS IS NOT A LOAN - TAKE THE DAGGONE CAR ALREADY. 

I think that ties it all up in a nice little package.  And it's even all true.  Not that that matters.  This is the internet after all.
