This morning on the way to church, we were driving down Route 19 at one of the busier intersections, and four lanes of traffic stopped dead in the road to allow 12 to 18 of the big honkers to stride sssllllooooowwwwllllyyyy across the road. I am not one to run over any kind of critter with my car; but the Canadian Geese are quite a nuisance. Their slimey deposits around parks and golf courses and other public places are pretty disgusting. And they can get downright aggressive during nesting season if you come near their eggs. Greg had a pair of them chasing him every morning for a while this spring. They decided to make a nursery out of the mulch behind the entrance to his building at work. They were pretty intimidating . . . running and hissing and flapping their wings!
This picture would have been a lot better if Greg would have held my cell phone and taken it out the window on his side; but he was too busy watching traffic or something. Obviously, he is not serious about getting good blogging photos like I am.
So what do you think you would do if you encountered such a problem? Any goose lovers out there?

I would slow down and let them cross. My husband would speed up. He drove over a squirrel on purpose last month. Murderer.
