i have a really nice commute to work. it’s a leisurely drive down alameda to 4th street, which turns into roy ave and then to tramway, which is where i work. the drive takes me through the north valley of albuquerque, across the river and then through los ranchos de albuquerque, and then to sandia pueblo. every single day (i mean EVERY day) i see some sort of dead animal on the side of the road. i love animals and it breaks my heart to see dead things all the time. i haven’t gone a single day since i started working @ sandia without seeing some sort of dead creature splayed out after being hit by a car. what troubles me the most, i think, is that lots of the animals end up on the shoulder or totally off the road after being hit and yet somehow continue to be run over by sick bastards who feel like they have to disrespect the poor creatures more by running them over again and again. it’s gross and it makes me sad.
it is the largest octopus ever recorded.
