How could you not hit the possum? They stop and hiss at the car, standing 
right in the way! They don't run, they don't crouch down so you can drive over 
them, they stand up and hiss. I actually stopped the car on a back country road 
and turned off my lights and the little guy still stood there and hissed at 
the car.

If anything in this world ever asked to be hit by a car....

On a related note... went to Michigan for a convention, saw four deer hit by 
the side of the road... that stayed right there for the weekend... don't they 
collect those in Michigan? They at least used to here, whether for disposal or 
to feed the prison population (so I'd heard) I don't know. Does anyone know 
what of anything they do with deer?

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy 
enough people to make it worth the effort.
