Roadkill
I spend a lot of time in my car. I drive all around the state to recruit new Nielsen TV Rating homes.
I am exposed to an inordinate amount of roadkill and it’s starting to really upset me. Butcher bill from Wed, 5/31:

That’s a lot of death for a car ride. Earlier in the month I was driving home and I went past a turtle trying to get across the road. I stopped, got out of the car, and helped him complete the journey.
Later in the day I passed another turtle doing the same thing. I stopped, got out of the car, and watched as a truck ran over the turtle. It popped and exploded. It was awful.
