poor squirrel

Distressingly, I saw a squirrel run out in front of a pickup truck this morning, and be hit. Fortunately I didn't have to see him or her be squashed. But the squirrel was bowled over and ran/rolled under a car. He thrashed around some and then died, thankfully. I did go over to make sure that the squirrel wasn't still alive...if he had been I guess I would've called the Animal Rescue folks.

I wish God, if He/She existed, wouldn't allow things like this to happen.

While looking for a good squirrel picture for this post, I ran across this, which lightened my squirrel-involved thinking a bit:
