One of my favorite blogs (besides “06880”) is Dreadful Drivers.
Not only does it chronicle every vehicular misdeed known to man (and you too, woman) — it does so with a Fairfield County sensibility. The blogger lives here.
(From the “About” page: “This blog is fueled by anger, bafflement, disbelief and, very occasionally, amusement at the antics of drivers in Fairfield County, Connecticut. I’m not a perfect driver. But at least I’m not dreadful.”)
Recently, Dreadful Drivers featured this photo:
Hey! That’s a Westport sign!
It’s on Green’s Farms Road — the end near Sherwood Island.
Look closely — that’s a rifle pointing toward the poor little leaping deer.
Far be it from me to advocate violence. Or defacing public signs.
On the other hand, if you’ve ever been involved in a “deer strike,” you know there’s something worse than dreadful drivers.
Dreaded deer.
Rat tat tat, Rat tat tat
Shoot the bastards down
Oh what fun it is to see
The Rangers come to Town
SING TO JINGLE BELLS 🙂
Anger issues?
Thanks Dan. I call it like I see it. And there’s no shortage of material.
Keep on drivin’
Sure does need to be more deer control.
I have had three close calls/near misses with deer here in Westport.
All three times this occurred right opposite Long Shore golf course.
I think my Mini Cooper would lose!
That’s sign is pretty funny…I have had 1 run in with a dear and MANY close calls…funny, all have been on either Westport roads, or the Merrit Parkway within the Westport townline…Scary!! Also funny to note, i recently moved to Monroe (the sticks as i like to say) and BARELY do I see deer…i have a beautiful garden also that is not RAVAGED!!
Maybe the deer are attracted to Westport because of the great schools Dan mentioned in his previous post:)
The sign was removed the day after this post went up. Coincidence, I think not. 😉 … especially since this deer has been at gunpoint since late August. Several years ago the same sign was hit with a more risque graffi, and that one was removed within days.
Hoping the deer who ate all early spring pansies will also disappear!
