I was tempted to use this for the Hampton Post Office, but in the end decided to go conventional. I’ve got all last weekend’s PO photos up in the gallery and on Flickr!, but no descriptions yet. Except for the Port Royal one where I couldn’t resist a TDPM quote.
In our back road travels we pass a bit of road kill now and again, sometimes the turkey vultures are circling and others they are already gathered around the “meal.” This Sunday was a new one though. A hundred yards ahead of us there was one big black bird off the side of the road in a half a foot tall grass. As we approached him his head ducked down and he started to back out into the road. At 50 yards away with a mighty backwards hop the vulture drops something big and flies up into a nearby tree. At 25 yards away we can see that the bird’s prize, now laying about a foot into our lane, is a very dead, but intact armadillo. I’m guessing that he/she couldn’t get at the good stuff, so it dragged the hard shelled animal into the traffic lane so a car would come by and hit it creating instant Armadillo on the Half Shell.
I swerved to avoid the armadillo and thereby foiled it’s plan.

poor armadillo
Must be where we were in the state because that was the second armadillo we saw with it’s feet in the air and we really don’t see to many of them here in SC.
