Maybe that's why some train drivers (isn't there another word for that job? lol) honk the horn at night when they come through our area; usually they don't honk here.
I usually drive rather slow in areas that are prone to have wildlife crossing the street; that's no guaranteed safety though ... I shall use the horn too. Nice suggestion, thank you.
I thought about this roadkill issue some more today and I must say dead animals have a much stronger impact on me than dead people. I've seen my fair share of dead human bodies in my lines of work thus far; as a nurse I experienced some dying in my presence ... at the crematory (I had an office job there for a while) they were already long gone. It's weird to work with or around dead humans but it doesn't really bother me to see them dead ... the dear this morning, on the other hand, made me shed some tears.
