I forgot to post about this last week. Here's a funny sight from the wilds of the D.C. area roadways.
I was stuck in traffic on I-66 westbound on a Friday night on my way out to my parents' house. We were at a crawl, as usual on that particular stretch. I was behind a white, older model pickup truck plastered on its back window and part of the tailgate with all manner of hunting stickers, fishing stickers and an assortment of "support the troops" ribbons.
Underneath the license plate and wedged on top of the hitch area was what looked like a 12-inch tall stuffed deer, positioned to look like it was sitting up. Can you say country boy? But wait, it gets better.
I didn't notice it at first, but every time the driver hit the brakes, something happened to the deer. It took a few times for me to really see it. The deer waved at me every time the driver applied the brakes. This deer was waving at me in traffic! One little front leg was flapping around in the air! I looked again, and a spot on its belly lit up, too, when the brakes went on...lit up bright red.
Every time the guy hit his brakes.
And who said Prince William County was becoming suburbanized...just an extension of the Fairfax County sprawl?
Not when there's those kind of people driving around on our roads! :)
