The squirrels in my neighborhood like playing that game.  I hate it especially since I hit one last year.

The squirrel must have thought it had cover because a pickup was running a stop sign in front of me but it should have kept up with the pickup.  I didn't see the squirrel until the truck had passed in front of me and by then it was too late. I slow down and even stop for animals.  I only slow down enough for stop sign runners enough so I don't hit them.

I wish we could grow trees with big canopies over the street so squirrels could use those.  That would be cool.

I don't know what to do about the rabbits.  I saw one that had been hit by something last year too.  The worst part is that I could tell it managed to crawl 5 or 6 feet after it got hit.
