In my driving recently I've been making an extra effort to stay between the lines. My ol' pal used to tell me to "keep 'er between the buoys". It's good advice for drivers and boaters alike. Further, I think it can be extrapolated to other areas of life. Civil laws and religious commandments are "lines" or "buoys". By doing our best to keep a balance of neither too close nor too far away from said lines or buoys we can live a nice life of moderation. I don't know how you can factor the road kill into this analogy. But I'd like to hear you try. Sound off in the comments.
By the way, if you live near a Ben & Jerry's or a Starbucks click the links to get free food on 3/23/10. I live near neither so I can only enjoy vicariously through you. Let me know how it/they taste(s).

This guy is a mug-wump. In 7th grade we studied American History and learned about the American Revolution. We learned about a particular group, I think they were called Tory's, who couldn't decide whether to support the British Crown or to take up arms for freedom. My teacher said they were sitting on the fence, with their mugs on one side and their wumps on the other.
“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot." .... “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” (Rev. 3:15, Rev. 16.)
Factoring in the road kill: don't eat road kill (lukewarm). However...Ben & Jerry's(cold) Mmmm, yes! Starbucks (hot) yes!
I liked this question/thought and the picture made me laugh! Thanks!
