http://www.bakersfieldvoice.com/home/Blog/travisfam a great shot... en-us http://www.bakersfieldvoice.com/home/Blog/travisfam/28759 <p>I recently started carpooling with my mom when I found out how close her work was to mine.&nbsp; (I know, shameful that I didn' know before) But, we now carpool most days of the week and it's pleasant.&nbsp; </p> <p>On that note, I propose that Mrs. Martin and company create a carpool forum where others can also save gas, make friends, and reduce pollution.&nbsp; </p> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 08:49:08 PDT http://www.bakersfieldvoice.com/home/Blog/travisfam/5509 Had a great time heading up to Shirley Meadows and going to the snow.&nbsp; Great fun and I had a strange experience:&nbsp; I was driving my mini-van on the last stretch before the exit to Lake Isabella and 3 brown eagles/hawks were on the other side of the road fighting over&nbsp; a squirrel.&nbsp; When they heard the car they all started to fly away across the road and directly in my path.&nbsp; Two hawks were sans squirrel but the one that had it in his claws could not get lift.&nbsp; Just before I plowed&nbsp; into him I started braking to about 45-50mph as he dripped his ballast (squirrel) but not in enough time before it hit the top right of my windshield with a thunderous THUD.&nbsp;&nbsp; The second car behind us in our group saw the whole thing and was not sure if the eagle descended into the canyon on the right as a result of the impact catapulting it over or if he actually survived.&nbsp;&nbsp; One thing is certain, the only thing on my windshield was hawk-dropping telling me that at best, I scared the %$^&amp; out of it.
