I love the smell of roadkill in the morning

There were 4 kangaroo carcasses on the side of the road on the way to work and it's not as if I live in the bush. There are often carcasses by the side of the road but to have 4 on one stretch is a little unusual. There's been a bit of a population problem anyway so no great loss in the grand scheme of things (yes bad way to die but the population problem is a whooole other post).

The worst part, apart from seeing their twisted, and often half mushied bloody corpses by the side of the road is the smell that wafts in through the air intake and lingers in the car for awhile. Kangaroo is one of the more pongier meats around. It's OK eating when done right with a yummy sauce (we are the only nation that eats it's own national emblem) but the meat really pongs. And when it's dead and rotting it's even worse.

Nice way to start the day.
