Greetings! We have arrived at our destination and now that the apartment is mostly set up, the computer is unpacked, and we are back on-line we will commence to tell the tales of our harrowing experience…
We left Tallahassee behind (most likely forever) on 29 May, exactly 3 months after we first arrived. That first day we traveled about 540 and drove through parts of 4 states. We crossed the tiny little panhandles of Alabama and Mississippi that give them both coastlines. We skirted New Orleans by taking I-12 and crossed the Mississippi River at Red Stick, popularly known by its French name, Baton Rouge. Unfortunately, we did not take special note of the fact we had crossed into The West at the time because it was dark and we didn’t even realize we had crossed the river until later.
And now the shocking truth about armadillos: there are no living armadillos. They only exist as dead specimens placed by the side of the road and nightly re-arranged by persons unknown. This stunning theory is based on our observations that in all of forests of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana that we passed through, we did not see any living armadillos. We saw only bodies by the side of the road. There were a lot of these apparently road-killed animals. A suspiciously high number! We had made the same curious observation while living in Tallahassee. We saw a dead armadillo almost every day and yet never saw
a living one. Discovering that the same is true across the southeast the shadowy image of a great ecological lie begins to take shape. The “nail in the coffin” for us was that we remembered going to the
Tallahassee Museum. They were supposed to have all of Florida’s large fauna on display. They did have an armadillo – but only a stuffed one! So, be warned! Do not be fooled by the so-called experts! Do not be taken in by the conspiracy! Do not believe in armadillos!
