Here is a safety tip for you. Car accidents are one of the main causes of fatality for many native wildlife species. The risk increases during the winter migration season, particularly between dusk and dawn hours when animal-folk move to lower elevations. To decrease your chance of being involved in an accident with wild animal-people, you should be especially cautious during these times of the day. Adapt your speed to the visibility conditions, since poor visibility raises the risk of accidents. Any time you see the sign ‘Wildlife Crossing’, decrease your speed and be vigilant. If you spot an animal-person, dim your headlights as bright lights can cause them to freeze still. Finally, be aware that many animal-people travel in groups; therefore, if one appears, expect more and do not accelerate promptly after one has crossed the road. Safe driving everyone!
In case you need a reason to grin, we’ve got you covered. Today’s joke is “Obvious Answer.”
It was Braxton’s six-year-old’s first time at a funeral, and he wanted to make sure his son behaved at the cemetery.
“Son, what is the most important rule to remember during the ceremony?”
The boy thought for a while and then answered:
“Don’t play hide and seek between the tombstones?”
