IMHO I think you are far too hard on yourself. The pic is very sharp
and suits the topic of the shoot-in exactly. A sad pic, (I hate seeing
animals killed by cars), but reality in the world.

Like That_Rich said, a little play on words. My shot is just a semi-humorous
snapshot. That reeks.

"That_Rich"

Skunk = stinks
Dead skunk = stinks real bad

Had a skunk die in a basement window-well. Thought to
ignore it [turn the air-conditioning on, seal the windows]
until flies finished with the carcass and the problem
went away. But it didn't go away -- it deliquesced.

Liquid skunk == You would not believe

Buried the scoopable remains in a grave while
vomiting profusely. The first grave wasn't deep
enough and I had to dig it up and bury it deeper.

A gallon of Clorox poured into the window well was the
only thing that got rid of the stench.

Lesson: bury dead skunks immediately.

While it is true that Al lives about 4 miles, as the crow flies, 9 as
the car drives (North Carolina doesn't believe in straight roads), my
image was captured about 90 miles from my house just outside of Hanging
Rock State Park. Sooooo, I just don't see how Al and I could have
coincidentally been at the same geographical point on the globe at that
time. Besides, that slacker hasn't even submitted an image yet.

So are you saying the *redneck* in your photo is not Al?

It's Al, just no coincidence, we went to shoot the waterfalls.

Thought so.....I'd recognize that handsome devil anywhere.

The rose colored glasses are just a bit too rosey :-)

What would the vultures eat if it weren't for road kill?

LOL yes this is true. (how could they eat skunk?! the smell alone makes
me vomit). :^0

You got that right! the smell seems to linger for the longest time.

You all haven't smelled anything as bad as vulture vomit. :-) And yes,
I have.

In my book, anyone who has the guts to open a car window to take a shot
and risk having the smell of dead skunk in their nostrils all day long,
deserves credit.

Yeah? What about I-40 between mileposts 390 & 391? That's a straight road!

OTOH, straight roads are boring and over-rated. Give me a nice wiggly
road with something interesting around the next curve any time over a
boring straight line road where the scenery is like being number two on
a sled dog team.


I grew up and learned to drive in an area where most of the roads were
straight and orthogonal. The exceptions were clearly labeled: River
Road ran along the river and you didn't expect it to be straight,
Circular Street clearly wasn't straight, though not a complete
circle.

Getting used to NC roads and naming (who, in their right mind. would
really find it necessary to name the same road five different things
along 2 miles of roadway) took a bit of adjustment.

We only started doing that about time RTP started importing yankees,
just so's to confuse them. The locals all know the roads anyway, so we
don't need the names. ;-D

I once had a 6 month old miniature schnauzer have an unfortunate encounter with a skunk that he mistook for a potential playmate. He made a beeline to the most secure place he knew, behind the clothes in a walk in closet. Months later . . .

FWIW, the traditional antidote to eue de skunk is bathing in tomato juice.
