Avoiding horse poop

Tweet

Friday I was driving to work. I often take this little country road instead of the freeway. Not that traffic is usually a problem, not at all. I just like the country drive. I was just coming past a housing tract and into the area that's not developed when I saw that traffic was at a stop. I really thought it was because there was something wrong on the freeway and that I was going to have a long drive in to work. Well the property on either side is owned by a ranch and it is not at all uncommon to see either cattle or horses. This particular morning the horses had gotten out and were in a field on the side of the road that wasn't fenced in. But they weren't on the road or in any particular danger as long as they stayed where they were, so I wondered why the traffic had stopped. That's when I came around the bend and saw a large pile of horse poop in the road. The cars were oh so slowly driving around the horse poop instead of over it. I laughed all the way to work about that one!
