Something old, new, borrowed and dead!

When I come back to London, I look forward to re-visiting all the old hang-outs and seeing old friends. I also always expect to see something new and different. The area has grown so much with all new housing, retail outlets, etc. but the thing that has amazed me the most is the roadkill.
I have never seen so much roadkill in my life!
Both my parents and sister live a little ways out of town and require about a 10 minute drive on country roads and it is on those trips that this discovery has begun. I have seen roadkill in Alberta but maybe only 2 or 3 "items" on the way to Banff (okay, sometimes its a large item, like a deer) but nothing like the numbers I am seeing these days.
It's like a family of 3 or 4 groundhogs stand in the middle of the northbound lane and a family of 2 or 3 skunks stand on the middle of the southbound lane, each warning each other of oncoming traffic when *SPLAT*, too little too late. I actually counted 13 "items" in a 15 minute drive two nights ago. It's disgusting!
Either the suicide rate amongst Southern Ontario rodent relatives is out of control or maybe we just have smarter animals in Alberta!
No matter, night time driving is more of an adventure and it's not my car!.
Ta Ta for now!
