When carrion birds are diving at your car you might want to reconsider your hygiene practices lol

Nigga was just trying to cross the road and misjudged... he wasn't exactly 'diving at my car'.

I frequently see a turkey vulture perched on the side of I-275 on my way home, just about a mile from my exit.  I named him Dave.

I had to google what a turkey vulture was.

New York Times just came out with a devastating expose on Marco Rubio.  Turns out that he had 4 traffic tickets over the last two decades, while his wife had 13.  Can we afford to have a president who can't even push his weight around to get his tickets taken care of?

On the plus side, we're all better off paying for someone to drive his wife around.

Locally people call them 'buzzards' here, but they're definitely vultures.  We also have black vultures, but turkey vultures are much bigger, unfortunately for me and my car.  They're the biggest birds of prey around, by far.

Speaking of which the USSR had less GDP than Mexico in 1980? Crazy.

Not sure about Italy but joining the Euro kind of killed France if we are going to talk PPP.

Eastern Montana is an interesting place. The next town is always 2+ hours drive away. Forget airports too. Also the next town is fairly likely to just be a name on the map without anything actually there.

Every single high school has a rodeo enclosure with a stable, but only a few of them have football/soccer fields. You can drive for three straight days without ever being in a place with a Wal-Mart.
