Animals I saw on my drive today: three huge flocks of quail, each running like crazy to get out of the road (flying seems to be a last resort), a brown boxer dog in the back of a pickup, a horse peeing in the middle of a field (well, he WAS! *grin*), no less than FIVE hawks sitting on phone lines in various spots, a vulture slowly and reluctantly lifting away from road kill as the car approached it, and cows laying in the cool air under the shade of the walnut trees in a nearby grove. There – now you can go on with your life.
