Ah..see.. science class was good for something :) Two Words:

Small animals are notorious for jaywalking. 2. We've gotten a whole lotta rain around here lately. Thus, instead of hiding out in their little holes in the ground, lots of animals are homeless because they have been flooded out. So, instead of sitting home watching American Idol, these critters are out-and-about. 3. As budgets are tight, carcass disposal drops way down the priority list on your State, City/Town/Village, County, and Township highway department. Thus, more dead animals and less dead animal pickup makes for more carcasses on the side of the road. There are a couple of reasons for this, Bill.
