Well tonight I was driving the big truck south on I-69 up near Markle Indiana when a big bird crashed into the side of it. The thing hit my drivers side "west coaster" mirror then thunped hard against my side window. All I saw out of the corner of my eye was a white mass slide off my side window. It hit my mirror just right to break the plastic retainer that holds the mirror it's self in place and the mirror dangled at the end of it's heater wires for a second then fell off. I had to pull into Dukes' Volvo right next to Carter where they gave me a loaner so I could go on down to Greenfield to make the delivery.
Even though it was about 9:10 at night when this happened I figure it was a goose. I have seen them flying low over my place in the dark before. It hit to damn hard to have been a hawk and I haven't seen any white owls around here.
