Oh the carnage

OK, any other Seattle people out there drive west across the I-90 bridge today? Did you see what I saw?

Dozens — scores — of scattered bodies strewn along the left side of the freeway. Bears, bunnies, puppies... little stuffed animals of every race, creed, and color. It looked like some fiend had visited a pogrom on a Hallmark store or hospital gift shop, and turned the floating bridge into a mass grave.

Some lay in solitude, face-down in the oily gravel. Others, in sad little piles. As I drove west across the span, the bodies became fewer and farther between, but still, every so often, another lonely panda, another pathetic koala.

Could this be the aftermath of some horrible accident? A mass-transit disaster? Or truly, were there evil forces at work? Systematized Gundicide? I shudder to think that such an unspeakable atrocity could have descended upon our fair city.
