pushes it’s way through the air in bull/china shop manner. Creates a pressure ridge ahead of it like a semi, and it deflects a lot of stuff. I get bug splats, but the larger the insect the less likely it is to hit.

The rental vulva, on the other hand, slipped through the air smoothly.- Made for fun driving, but less than optimal for birds.

Heading to the hotel after work tuesday night, a pair of barn swallows flew in front of the car, and one hit the windshield with startling force. I pulled over and walked back a few feet, and found it laying on the pavement. I picked it up, and noted the speed at which it’s heart was beating, and several feathers crumpled at the tips.

I have real issues with causing suffering to animals. Their lives are short enough and filled with enough bullshit that they don’t deserve any additional danger from humans. I will not kill anything I won’t eat, and I won’t take a shot I don’t KNOW is an instant kill. Oh, I don’t rescue spiders or bees or wasps, and I’m not too fond of varmints, but songbirds and nongame animals? Don’t let me catch you treating one cruelly. This, actually, is the prime reason I’m not overfond of cats. When you;ve seen a cat play with and slowly kill an animal solely for its’ own amusement, it sours you on the deal. yeah, I know it’s their nature yadda yadda, but I still dislike it.

I smoothed the swallow’s feathers and tried to bend back the tips that had been bent. It suddenly seemed to come around and flew off, startling me somewhat. I was pleased it wasn’t dead anmd hoped it didn’t have any fatal internal injuries. I hopped back in the vulva and drove on. Stupid yuppie cars.
