Musings On Country Life

Several months ago, we moved out to the country. Our home sits on 14 beautiful acres overlooking a river. Is this heaven or hell? As we adapt to country life, I find I need a creative outlet to share the trials and tribulations, as well as the joys of country life.

Ahh . . . . Country Life!

Road Kill

Take one Toyota and one large (very large) raccoon and push them together at 40 MPH and what do you get?  A very big mess.  I hear about people hitting deer all the time, and as expected, there is quite a bit of damage and sometimes injury.  But when you look at a raccoon, you think to yourself, no problem.  The car wins every time.  As it happens, a raccoon can do quite a bit of damage to a car.  We have become amused by insurance adjusters and auto mechanics as they say, “That must have been one big raccoon!”  Neighbors and mail men come by and ask, “Did you see that raccoon?”  We thought we would just need a new bumper, but it turns out the raccoon bent the frame of the car.
