Road Obstacles


It’s not often that you can say you almost hit a cow on your way to work unless you are from Texas or living in Antigua. There are always various forms of livestock on the sides of the roads here and the cows drag long ropes or chains that are fitted to collars around their necks.  The animals are used to cars and people but they sometimes act in unpredictable ways and accidents do happen.  I came very close to increasing the ground beef inventory on the island the other day but managed to avoid a collision.  In the event that I manage to produce some bovine road kill, I am thinking that the victim’s horns would look good mounted on Subi’s front grill. I’ll just have to get a cowboy hat to match!

  1. Hey Gian! Thinking of you over thanksgiving. It is freezing here. We were just in Clearwater for a jazz festival so maybe it is just the contrast playing on my mind. No snow yet. Yes you should mount road kill horns if it happens. And yest get a good quality cowboy hat - run over it too - and then mount it on your head as it will make you look like you belong to many cattle cultures around the globe! Which could lead to an invitation to dinner if you don't mention you just killed their cow! T
