Lady has an idea...

The future is awesome and it knows all!

LONG LIVE THE WAGONS OF THE FUTURE... That will be the ones we save.

 

I remember this narrow two lane road along the Snake river near Alpine Valley and Jackson Hole, Wyoming driving a large Kenmore pulling a 50+ foot refriderated van. Several Mooses, Meeses, whatever were standin in the middle of the snowcovered road. These were no ordinary Mooses. Made Paul Bunyon's Blue Ox look like a pup! Lucky they musta been as skeered as I was because they just stood there like bronze statues and I sorta wiggled between them.
Have you ever looked down there in that canyon where that cold cold Snake river is? We were grossing over 80,000# with a load of big ole white Idaho taters up to the roof. That's a lot of potatos to be pickin up outta that cold fast movin water.
Glad it was very cold outside and inside that big rig. Otherwise I probably would have had a bodily function. As it was, I was too puckered to poo.
Dewey I truely believe it's our clean livin that keeps us safe!

 

Hey, Cat... I believe the term is "dirty old man"...

 

What ever made you write that? Old yes. But far from dirty. I took a bath....... well------- earlier this month...or maybe September!
Just remember, he who thinks adult thoughts is still alive. So that means I plan to live forever.

 

She sounds sincere and it all sounds very logical. But, I've seen those "when animals attack" videos, and I don't think we really want those deer anywhere near the school children.
In areas around here, someone must have gotten a huge box of small round red reflectors at one time several years ago. For many years, driving around the Front Royal and Luray area of Virginia, Every deer crossing sign had a small round red reflector in the place of the deer's nose on the sign. Always kept a look out for Rudolf crossing the highway, but it was always the other deer that jumped out in front of my car.

 

Curious...was there a deer Xing sign?


And as for the caller, instead of just having a deer xing sign maybe there should be xing lines painted on the road with an over head flashing light. Then the deer could press the button, lights would flash, then we would all know to stop so they could cross safely.

 

That State park at the end of Skyline Drive,near Front Royal......Shanandoa River maybe? Used to be a private hunting grounds.....We camped there one night the weekend of the opening ceramonies before it officially opened. Thanks to a park ranger. Sat out on the pile of new picnic tables not yet set around the park, watching deer and other critters wandering around. The small new campground was just being finished. We camped in a Chevy van in the parking lot.
I do remember those red reflectors on deer crossing signs. Perhaps that's where it was.
My wife, son and myself got to take the cave tour at Front Royal with a female ranger and no one else. It was an off day and drizzly outside. I guess she felt sorry for us or I swept her off her feet because they were not supposed to take small tours.

 

Perhaps Dewey will answer his question. As for my Moose adventure I never even thought about it. I do know there were Moose warning signs along that winding road but not sure if they were in that area. If not I coulda sued those Mooses if i'd crashed.......... Couldn't I?
I know at all the Wal Marts the Walmartians always have the right of way. Most never look and expect a moving car to stop for them! I do believe there are pedestrian crossing signs in front of those stores. But most of those Walmartians give me the same deer in the headlights stares as the deer do!

I do understand that pedestrians do have the right of way. But I truly don't think that was the original plans for stopping to let total retards walk across randomly. Don't git me started!!!!

And fannie, these deer crossing and bear crossing signs are normally in the boonies far from electricity. It's too expensive to install generators or solar panels to control those flashing yeller lights. And if most of those deer are as stupid as some of those Wally World shoppers they wouldn't know how to push a button.
And about 60 miles fromhome Ocala National Forest has Bear Crossing signs. 160 miles away there is another Federal park with a nude beach. Wonder why they don't have Bare Crossing signs there?

 

The deer might not be smart enough to push the buttons...

but sheep sure are. I was visiting a nature park some years ago. The driver (motor tour) had to push a button to open a gate. There was a long tube over the button so he had to use a stick to push it. He said the sheep had learned to push the button with their tongues so they could get out of the fence...

 

I don't know much about sheep. But at many parks with a kiddy zoo the sheep try to get their own feed from those pay feed machines. I also heard lonely farmers keep sheep for friends. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!

 

good point...thanx for clearing that up.........................

ya.,....dats it................

that explains those knee high gum boots you keep in the shed.................
