The variety of school mascots through Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas and now Missouri is interesting. Many are named after western animals (e.g.-Bulls, Mustangs), others after birds (e.g.-Eagles, Hawks, Prairie Chickens) and some even take after weather elements (e.g.-Tornadoes, Lightnings). Yet the most frequently seen thing on our road trip so far are the dead animals on the road. Must have seen over a hundred today alone...which gets me thinking (and I have plenty of time with Dave on the bike eight hours a day)...is there a school system insane enough to parody this? Picture the fictional town of Riley, Mo. Their mascot could be the "Riley Road Kill" and the baseball team's slogan could be "We will tire you out".
