OT: I saw something really sad on Friday, On the way home from Thunderhill Options

[Trekkor]

I can get it out of my head.

I was trailering home from the track and coming through a rural stretch of freeway and I see a duck with several ducklings trying to cross.

I slowed down and the ducks stopped.
The car next to me in the fast lane ran them all over and I saw it in my mirror. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I got a little teary. When the driver passed me, she was visibly upset, too.

It keeps replaying over and over.
I really like ducks...used to feed 'em as little boy. Also had a job at Embassy Suites years ago and fed 'em then too. Saw lots of ducklings.

That's horrible. I saw a dog get hit by a car when I was 17, I can still hear it scream. I drove around the neighborhood looking for it, thinking it needs to get to a vet but I never found it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I've also had several turtles and currently have a 5 yr old tortoise. I was on a rural gravel road and saw a turtle sitting right in the middle. So I stopped and was going to move him off into the grass, but when I got up to him it was only half of a turtle. The other half was crushed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) It shocked the hell out of me because it looked like a whole turtle while sitting in the car.

The images of both those events are burned into my brain.
