Oof. I saw a bunch of those creepy things stuck on a fence in WY. Wasn't pretty, either.

When they're crossing the highway as a group high as your truck, yeah. Then they pile up.

Naturally, they don't creep like a hunting animal, but they do roll along in the wind. The ones I saw were much bigger than the one in your picture.
My experience may have been a random moment of surreal. I had to pull over to not run into any or get stuck with them.
This was twenty years ago crossing WY and may not happen anymore.

(10,237 posts)21. I used to start a thread and see how long it took to sink out of sight.
We should keep this one going for years as a legacy like the repukes all want to have.
You may not want this thread but its too late now .

(7,804 posts)22. Like that "I just want to start a thread that never dies" thing that went OOOOn and on and on
on DU2, in fact I think there was another version of it here on DU3. Reminds me, I should go and look for it and make it do things...
Anyway, if my thread becomes actually of some consequence, well I might change my mind and want it back.

sibelian
(7,804 posts)32. It took days of coaxing and encouragement just to get it THIS far.
Now it's staring at me with big brown eyes saying "why is everyone TALKING about me, Daddy?"
(It doesn't know I don't want it. Shhh.)
