Sonic the Hedgehog
The NYPD completely shut down the southbound FDR at 69th Street this morning for the rescue of a little hedgehog trapped at the median. I know this because we somehow got in front of this shut down which, when Jeff called me this morning from the car, had caused the traffic to be backed up several miles. You should have seen this little guy. Talk about deer caught in headlights; he was watching his little hedgehog life flash before him at the rate of about 60 mph. It’s nice to know that some asshole didn’t swerve to crush him just out of spite and a good way to start a rained out weekend.

Poor little guy. I want to KISS the officer(s) who saved him — even if they’re not HOT! :-*

When I left this comment, I hadn’t even seen your post, just below, “Yeah, But Is He Hot?” We must be, like, linked cosmically or something, in our shallowness.

Honey, Cops, by the very definition, are ALWAYS hot, usually.

I just love hot cops and hedgehogs!

I once had a dog.
But he killed himself – jumped off a cliff.
Loved that damned dog.

Perhaps there is hope if an entire freeway can be shut down to save one little hapless creature. NYPD RULES! Once Pam and I shut down the north bound lane of Dixie Drive by the Carillon Pavilion in order to allow a mama duck and her ducklings to cross safely. We felt pretty good about that. Now if they will just stop when we are driving our horse and wagon in the Bicentennial Wagon Train in July, we should make it through the summer in fine style.
