In my neck of the woods, deer are quite common. There are yellow caution signs everywhere that show a gamboling deer with the warning “Deer Crossing”.

I must admit it made me recall an event from pushing 40 years ago. On my way to work one morning I drove through the same little semi-rural community/neighborhood called Bakertown that I went through every day. It is/was a bunch of modest houses and maybe two dozen little stores of the sort you’d find further out in the country. There next to somebody’s mailbox was a five-gallon translucent bucket with a dead dog stuffed down inside of it. It amused me so much that I got a carload of folks from work to show it to. It stayed there for over a week before somebody removed it. By then there was a blackish goo on the bottom of the bucket for maybe four inches from the bottom.
I never did decide if it was roadkill or a family pet.
In case you didn’t know, this seems to be related to The String Cheese Incident.
While on my way to Florida from Georgia my wife and I saw a sign that said:
I thought that was pretty weird.
A while back in Montreal, I saw a panhandler on either Peel or Ste. Catherine with a sign saying “Smile if you masturbate and help us get fuckin’ drunk.”
Also saw an old lady smoking a joint.
They mean “pets.” The person writing that sign was a Spanish speaker.
