Roadkill. Human deaths and roadkill involving deer Are continually occurring with our invading highways Into the unbounded wilderness which once reigned. Many warning signs increased, declaring 'Deer Crossing'. One woman in Michigan, who had collided with several deer, Vociferously opposed these signs saying, "The signs are only instructing deer to cross at a specific place, And therefore should be removed to lessen these accidents." (!) Oh, dear god, why can our early education Not be more logically inclusive?? (Read 'Crossings' on roadkill by Ben Goldfarb.) Frank Maurer 7 January 2024 0935 Hours.
