Dumb Animals

This isn't necessarily a 'drivers' post, but more a 'driving' post.
So after 21 years of driving and hitting 6 birds in flight, I finally ran over my first squirrel. I can't believe it has taken this long due to the amount of residential roads I consistently drive. While I'm not too fond of squirrels, it's not my goal to run them down when I see them trying to make a split second decision. This one was dumb though. Standing in the middle of the road, it ran in front of me instead of the other way. Needless to say, it was a weird sensation. Do I feel bad? A little, but then again, it's one less dumb rodent. Darwinism.
