On my walk to the train station today, I saw a squirrel try to cross Northwest Highway. It just made it past the first two cars, and then was squished by a car going the other way, and I saw it struggle on the pavement for a minute. I've seen squirrels along the side of the road before, but I've never seen one get hit before. I don't think the driver even knew he'd hit it. It looked like a very painful death, and not particularly quick. It made me very sad.
