Traveling down the interstate highways north of Paducah, Kentucky, on through Nashville, Tennessee, and down into Birmingham, Alabama, every half mile or so we came across a poor dead animal—most often a deer—whose carcass litters the roadway.
At one point I thought I spotted a coyote among the dead, but no, it was just another dadgum dead dear. I think that phrase would make a fine song title.
Dadgum Dead Deer. It’ll be a hit.
Peace, people.

I nearly created my own dadgum dead deer just a few days ago. Heading to work and out it popped from the hillside brush. Thankfully it was smart enough to turn right around and hide among the foliage.

Very punny, Leslie. I think driving through Nashville and thereabouts inspired a country tune. (I grew up in Nashville, by the way.)

49 years! I lived in the Memphis, TN area for about 16 years and then moved up to MI when I was 32. I’m 65 now so MI is my home but I have LOTS of family in Nashville (my husband is from Nashville, too) so we visit there a lot. It’s a beautiful and fun town but too expensive for us!

Given the number of deer carcasses on the highways around here, I’ve often wondered whether these animals are simply stupid, unlucky, or suicidal.

Perhaps they’re suicidal because they’re so stupid and/or unlucky.

Leslie I was wondering what a 3D image would look like but seems like D is raised to the power of 3 every time you see one of these!
