would you like a little salt with your highway…

I had to drive into the middle of nowhere to do a gig in a ski resort town. It was actually pretty awesome and I enjoyed the show. The drive was crazy though, we had to stop a few times because there were mountain sheep on the road. They just sit there and eat the salt, so I yelled at one to get off the road and he looked at me and I know he was thinking “I don’t speak human”. So I felt like an ass and rolled my window up.

In the case of sheep from natures past, I often wonder where they ate salt. They may have just gone with out any seasoning at all. It would be amazing if a truck full of BBQ sauce spilled on the road and they all got hooked on that. I think thats why they are always licking the road, they are just sick of bland old grass, somebody needs to get them some condiments.

    Here are your corrections:
    “the middle of now where” should be “the middle of nowhere”
    “there was mountain sheep” should be “there were mountain sheep”
    Glad you made it safe. By the way there are natural salt licks in the forest as well but the road salt is more plentiful at times.

  2. Daryl you’ve just earned an honorary badge as a deputy in the grammar police. Remember your oath…

    Yeah I definitely won’t be winning any awards for my grammar. Although one day I may get a bronze medal in hygiene.
