|5:32 AM| On an even less amusing note, I saw a kitten thrown from a car yesterday. I couldn't tell from which car, I just saw a distinctly kitten shape land from about car height, rolling and tumbling along at a great speed. I watched in my rearview as it righted itself and managed to get to the side of the road. I couldn't tell if it was injured, and so I exited the highway. Whoever threw it chose a very inconvienent spot on the highway to do this, and it took me a long damn time to get back there.
Have you ever run down a highway? I'm sure most of the readers of this site have been out of a car on the side of a highway, with the traffic zipping by, but it's quite another experience when you're running along the side, and the cars are passing you at 70+ plus miles an hour. Frightening on some reptilian level. Once I got to the point that I thought the kitten should be, I found nothing. I looked all around the area (next to a graveyard of all places) and couldn't find hide nor hair. This probably means the tough little bastard is going to make it, if he could run away from that experience. I hope so.
I don't want a man hunt, but I do hope the cops happen to catch the fucker responsible. (Someone has been tossing kittens out of cars on the Austin highways for about a year and a half now).
