i saw a canada goose dead in the street and really wondered how that could have been unavoidable. they walk so slow. they are so big. i just thought maybe that was no accident. will never know though.

just as i will never know that the woman who killed my daughter swerved deliberately out of her lane to do so. i believe that though. it doesn't always have to be beasties, sometimes it's people.
