Cow @ 50+ mph...obviously the truck was totaled, bent the frame. She was on the string so that around 1400 lbs. Thanks to an airbag!

A few years back someone dropped a pitbull off at the farm. We saw it walking around and didn't think anything of it. Dad was walking around a corner of a building and the dog was on the other side. It bit his shoe (thankfully he was wearing steel toed boots) and he was able to get away and through a door while my brother distracted it (large pipe in hand) so dad could get through a door. From there we left buddy boy a big pale of antifreeze after dad had gone out through a differnent door so we could pick him up in the truck.
We had a bunch of people going in and out of there every day so that dog couldn't stay. We called animal control and they said it'd be up to a WEEK before they could come handle it. We said screw that it's dangerous NOW. So we went home to eat lunch and dad and my brother were going to go back to take care of it with the shotgun afterwards.
Here's what I've been informed of by both of them for the end of Mr. Pitbull. When they got there the dog was sitting down in the middle of the road. It's not a busy road. Dad was gonna stop to shoot it. My brother told him forget that just hammer down. They got the thing with the plow frame. From what I've been told he got up and barked at the truck as it accelerated at him. Animal control was called and told they could disregard the request to take care of the pitbull.

Once I was driving I-5 down the central valley in Cal., ran into one of those swarms of yellow butterflies. Everyone had to pull over and scrape off their windshields, I am surprised there were no wrecks as you couldn't see anything and hitting your wipers and washers just made it worse. The entire front of my white F150 had turned yellow and so many of them were plastered on the radiator that the truck ran noticeably hotter. When I got to my dest. ,I had to borrow a hose and blast water from the back of the radiator to get those damn things out of there so the truck would run cooler!
I was lucky I still had the ice scraper from winter in the truck or I would have had a fun time getting the windshield clear, I saw one poor guy using a bottle of water and his shirt to clear his windshield!

Whoa Jim, that reminded me of one from many years back! I was on my motorcycle in France, doing about seventy on a country road. I was wearing a helmet and goggles but, like you, my neck was exposed. One of those really big fat black and yellow bees hit me right in that little hollow above where your collar bones come together. POW! It felt like a rock! It hit me so hard it flattened out my trachea and I was unable to breathe in! I pulled off the road into a field, gasping for breath, and to make matters even worse, the bee had stung me. Yoweee! I was hurtin for certain!
