Just Doing My Duty, Ma’am
I am the ultimate citizen. And I’ll tell you why. I have the City of Salem Dead Animal Removal saved to my iPhone contacts. And I use it. Often. We live on the edge of town where city and country meet which means there are a lot of dead animals on our roads. And I have deemed it my civic duty to make sure the City of Salem is fully aware of each and every dead critter I spy. I AM THE EYES OF THE CITY!!! (Look at me sounding my barbaric yawp! What a cutie I am!) Dead deer on the side of the road? I called it in. Dead marmot-y looking thing that our neighbors thought would be funny to drag off the street and squeeze under the windshield wipers of their roommate’s jeep and then leave to rot in the gutter in front of our house? Called it. The city loves me!
Either that or they cringe when they see my number on their caller id.
You want further proof of what a good citizen I am?
I feel so patriotic now! Oregon’s mail-in ballot system is awesome!
Humor-Blogs.com hates it when I get all political like this.
Good for you!! I still need to fill out mine. *sigh*
I’m totally suffering from electile dysfunction. I’ve never felt this completely jaded about our options or candidates before. Waaah. My life is HAAAArd!!

We should get Salem to give you a badge! It should be embroidered and read “Melissa, dead animal advocate.”
