Im sorry to hear that wolram. Rabbits are only 1 point, Grannies with a Zimmer are worth 100! Try harder next time ;)

My cat is bringing home larger and larger prey, I am crossing my fingers that the next won't be a small child or one of the neighbours...

I usually keep my roadkill in the freezer for quick access incase I need to cuddle. Too far? Yeah, I kind of though so too.

Have the pigeons decided that poop on the cars isn't a strong enough tactic? They've now gone kamikaze? :eek:

There is a road near me, that I call The Highway of Death. I have seen everything from bear to birds along its sides. Another road in Nevada, out side of the city of Dead Horse..I saw 2 dead horses and several dead sheep. Just made me wonder..why not call the city Dead Sheep?

My sister has eaten roadkill (bunny, I think).

Now, before you scream about unsanitary: she encountered it after having passed the same spot of road not fifteen minutes before, so she knew it was fresh.

My first husband would go hunting on his friend's ranch and they would shoot rabbits. He knew how much I hated killing anything, so he would tell me that they accidently ran over them. When I would point out the bullet holes, he'd tell me that they just wanted to make sure it was out of it's misery. :rolleyes:

Or, as Janine "The Bowler" Garofalo eloquently put it:

"Yah, it was an accident all right. He tripped and fell ... onto some bullets.":smile:
 

FAQ: Driving Through a War Zone: Local Garage Visit

What precautions should I take while driving through a war zone?

When driving through a war zone, it is important to be prepared for any potential dangers. Make sure to have a full tank of gas, a map of the area, and a charged phone with emergency contacts. Avoid driving at night and stay on main roads. Keep your windows rolled up and doors locked. If possible, travel in a convoy with other vehicles.

Is it safe to visit a local garage in a war zone?

It is not recommended to visit a local garage in a war zone unless it is absolutely necessary. In some cases, the garage may be closed or inaccessible due to the conflict. If you do need to visit a local garage, make sure to do so during daylight hours and with caution. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid any areas with known danger.

What should I do if I encounter a roadblock or checkpoint?

If you encounter a roadblock or checkpoint while driving through a war zone, remain calm and follow the instructions of the soldiers or personnel manning the checkpoint. Keep your hands visible and do not make any sudden movements. Be prepared to show your identification and vehicle documents if requested. If possible, have a local guide or translator with you to help navigate the situation.

Are there any resources or organizations that can assist with navigating a war zone?

There are several organizations and resources that can provide assistance and guidance when driving through a war zone. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) both have information and resources for navigating conflict areas. It is also helpful to research the area beforehand and connect with local contacts or organizations for advice and support.

What should I do if I am caught in the middle of a conflict while driving through a war zone?

If you find yourself caught in the middle of a conflict while driving through a war zone, try to find a safe place to take cover and wait until the situation calms down. If possible, seek assistance from the nearest military base, embassy, or humanitarian organization. It is important to stay calm and follow the instructions of any authorities or personnel on the ground. If necessary, contact your country's embassy or consulate for further assistance.
