On Saturday morning before I left to go show property I saw a guy stop in front of the house and pull way over towards the ditch. I thought he was having trouble so I stood and watched him. He got out of his car and started to walk back up the road in the direction he came from. He walked about 1/8 of a mile and picked something up in the road. I thought it was a dog at first. This guy must have hit a dog, we live in the country and there are loose dogs. As he gets closer to his car I realize he actually has a dead raccoon. WHAT? Why did he pull over? Why is he touching it? Why didn't he chuck it in the ditch? What is he doing with it? Ewe? Ewe? Ewwe?

NO, NO, For sure not, NO-- He clearly won't do that....Ahhh He IS doing that.

He gets the floor mat out of the passengers side of the car--because he cares about keeping his car CLEAN?? Opens the trunk, puts the car mat down and lays the raccoon into he trunk very carefully, touching it with both hands...UGH! I was temped to run out and offer him hand sanitizer, but since he just put a dead animal in his car he clearly would not have appreciated the gesture. I was grossed out to the max. My luck the rabid raccoon would have came alive, ate through the back seat and attacked me. Only in the Ozarks. Can you imagine what this guys wife must have thought? Unless in fact she wanted a Davey the Crockett hat for Christmas??!! Imagine Kory walking into the house with a dead raccoon he grabbed from the road? I would freak. Kory has pulled several "farmer" moments on me, but never the road kill surprise. Don't get any ideas, Love.


I showed a home and this was literally the "rug" in the living room. I am not kidding. I took this picture with my phone.


The point is...Normal feel better and better each day!
