Excellent stats. Although the rounds fired and beers consumed seems a bit low for a vacation to me.
As for the skunk roadkill, 2 is 2 many. I pity the unfortunate souls that managed to find that bit of randomness..one on the part of the driver, the other on the part of the skunk.
I feel the exact same way, but what are you gonna do?
