Sadly, I live my life by that mantra. Any time that my wife asks me to do anything I always say, "ypu know, if I die tonight the last thing I will have done is dishes, mowed the lawn, cleaned the garage, etc. That all can wait until tomorrow, please let me enjoy what is possibly my last night alive."

Quote: DieterThe road is paved with flat squirrels that could not make a decision.
Oooh. I'm somewhat convinced squirrels have this "home base" area in mind if they feel threatened.. Because I've literally watched many panic, and even when they're on one side of the vehicle already, they will run right back in front of your car to get to it. Makes no sense, but I guess that's how you end up flat.
Also my sister will give you abdominal injuries from the seatbelt from slamming on the brakes if a squirrel runs in front of her car while you're a passenger.
