What was that?

never seen an armadillo big enough for a boat seat for some but you did say texas

Jimbo, the guy wasn't quite as built as you and no way close to me. Buck fifty tops. He presented a pretty good show on Native American history which he claimed the Indians used them for various forms of shields and chest protectors, along with boat seats.

I almost forgot my best/worst story. I was in high school, driving my mom's car down the highway in western KS. It was straight and could see for miles. I was going a little over 100mph when a turkey vulture decided to take off from the ditch. Unfortunately it was loaded down with fresh roadkill and didn't get altitude quick enough. No way I was going to swerve at that speed so I blasted it, center of the front bumper. In the rearview mirror all I could see was a huge cloud of black feathers blowing around.

It was gross and unforgettable.

It was a miracle. Somehow the car took no damage except for smashing the front license plate and license plate cover. Just enough "give" in the bumper, I guess... The body of the bird hit there, and then it rolled/slid up the hood and over the top. A quick carwash on my way home, and it was like nothing ever happened... I told her about the bird, but probably didn't mention the speed I was driving at the time... I was an honest kid, but I knew when to keep my mouth shut.

@ crappiedoc, I think I was called to be the grim reaper of fat turkey vultures, but that job doesn't pay... Seriously though, the taxi thing is just a hobby. It doesn't pay the bills either. But I enjoy it and I do a nice job.
