A Word Of Thanks
A dear friend recently emailed the picture below. Now, I get quite a few dead animal photos sent to me. But this one is a special. Not because roadkill possum is all that unusual or exciting, but the photographer went out of her way to snap the photo. You see, she's a cop. She saw the possum while out on patrol. She pulled over, put on the flashing lights, and grabbed her camera. She risked life and limb and no small amount of ridicule from her co-workers had she been observed...just to contribute some blog fodder.
How I came to be blessed with such great friends...(sniff)...give me a minute here...so unworthy...touched...absolutely touched...
My friend assured me that the photo was undoctored and that it met all the rigorous standards of this blog. The critter was indeed dead, and not merely playing.
Thank you, S.
