I'm always surprised when the tortoise outdistances the hare. Take, for example, a new superhighway linking San Antonio and Austin, Texas. It's a marvel, with wide straight roadways and an 85 mph speed limit. The first crashes were not caused by alcohol, drugs, racing, texting, excessive speed nor any of the other usual suspects. Nope. Pigs. Herds of feral hogs keep wandering onto the highway at night, and it's nasty when a fast-moving automobile collides with a slow-moving hog. It's weird, unpredictable, and soooo south Texas. Maybe the developers of "Angry Birds" can do something with this idea.
