Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades...or so the old saying says. I beg to differ. Close counts in biking too. I have had close encounters with all sorts of critters. This week on vacation I added several new animals to my nearly missed list. They're marked with an asterisk below. These recent meetings inspired me to post the following list. Animals I Have Nearly Hit:
- Beetle
- Box Turtle*
- Canadian Goose*
- Caterpillar
- Chipmunk*
- Deer
- Dog (Duh!)
- Duck*
- Possum
- Rabbit
- Skunk
- Snake*
- Snapping Turtle* (very large)
- Squirrel
Most of these have run (or slithered) out in front of me along U.S. Highway 160, but a few have stepped into harm's way on back roads and bike trails.
Animal lovers, please note! I DID NOT HIT ANY OF THESE CREATURES! Don't write to me and tell me how cruel I am. Please.
