I wouldn't think it was strange if an occasional bunny were to be hit by a car as it crossed the road, but on the drive from the hotel in Alpine to the production office in Marfa I noticed the highway is speckled about every ten to twenty feet with the mangled carcass of a rabbit. Turns out these guys dart out at your car, at all hours of the day, even when you're traveling at slow speeds. I assumed there were so many roadkills left on the highway because there has been no rain to wash them away, but on my first drive home I narrowly avoided killing three rabbits that hurled themselves at my car. I don't know how long my driving record can remain blood-free under these conditions. It seems these bunnies have a death wish.
