What’s that Smear on the Road?
I wrote this in the middle of my adventure, day 4:
My aversion to mussels is reaching an all time high. I really hate the damn things. I don’t chew them, just swallow them whole, gagging the whole way. In fact, just watching me eat is grossing out everyone else, thus, I’ve been looking at alternative foods sources. Thankfully, I think I found the answer:
Once upon a time that was likely my arch-nemesis (though without dental records that can’t be confirmed), the squirrel. Sure I didn’t make the kill, a Range Rover or a Mercedes likely did the dirty work, but am I really going to complain? Its a bit dried out, but that might work to my favor. I hope there are no maggots in there, questionable because there’s an awful lot of flies hovering around.
But I’m also feeling a little more health conscious these days, and my parents are always reminding me to watch my cholesterol. White meat is the only substitute:
Unfortunately there’s not much meat on those bones and I’ve awfully hungry, I’m going to need more than that. Thankfully, nature (and traffic) provides all:
I got options baby, options.
I’ve had some problems making a fire lately though; I can’t seem to get it to last long enough. This has been a big problem while trying to boil water for those damn disgusting mussels. Thankfully, I found a finished product that would save me the hassle:
If only I found some blue cheese sauce, I’d be set!
While I really am joking about eating most of this stuff (ok, quarter joking) I did see about 3-4 giant strawberries smashed on the roadside. I didn’t stop to take a picture, because I would have eaten them if I did.
I regret not making that stop.

Godmother here, Joe did say that the only way you could catch a squirrel is to look for ROAD KILL & there you are right there in living color, but glad you didn’t eat it, you would have diarrhea for a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that would have been so funny if you ate road kill. I bet you were pretty close to eating it too. ha ha

for your next adventure you should find somewhere that actually serves squirrel and have to eat it. maybe a 3rd world country or perhaps northern canada.
