A chicken egg. Just sitting there, with a little crack in it, oozing onto the pavement.
I don’t know how it got there. Trash day was 3 days ago and it wasn’t there last night. It rained last night. I don’t see any evidence of any houses being egged around me.
It doesn’t even look like it was thrown there, because would have shattered a bit more than a little oozy crack, no? And as far as I can tell, it’s not hard boiled.
I am kind of creeped out by this egg. I am hoping a bird of prey will come by and take care of it for me. Would a hawk take a chicken egg from the middle of someone’s driveway? (I am in suburbia but we do have plenty of hawks)
Crows. They will take stuff from dumpsters and then change their mind and just drop it wherever. My house is on the back side of a high school campus and we’ve seen it happen over and over.
I guess this answers the cosmic question of “Which came first?”
If I were you, I’d be honored that your driveway is literally at the center of a history-shaping development. Men have fought wars over such things. . .

Seriously. I’d start writing a press release if I were you.
Odddly enough, my house is next to a high school too.
But first…what would a high school be doing with an uncooked egg in its trash? My dog finds plenty of bagels, hamburgers, yogurt, etc when we walk at the school. But an uncooked egg?
Second, are you saying the crow came by and daintily placed the egg on my driveway? … when I was typing that sentence I heard “caw! caw!” off in the distance. Maybe it’s a crow game.
