    In defense of the painters – We check and spot clean the road first. Then, Operator 1 has to drive at an exact speed, say 16 mph, and maintain the stinger on the front of the truck exactly on the line, all while watching traffic. Operator number 2 has to look straight down at pavement crawling by at 16 mph for hours, guiding the paint gun. Yeah, we paint over animals. You just don't see them until it's too late, and if you stop to look at them, you lose the line. OK, rant over.

      It's the like the intentional flaw in every Persian (or Turkish?) rug.

      The line painters I've seen around here use go karts. It's really impressive how much of an exact science they have it down to, considering. It's an art.
      Great screen name, btw.

        I guess this is kinda like a go cart… it won't embed for some reason, but: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73M2ABDedi4

      Would it be possible to add some sort of pusher/scrape blade to the front of the paint sprayer?

        We tried a pusher blade, but half the time it rolled and smashed the debris or animal rather than removing them. The best thing we tried was an air gun that the front guy could activate. He thinks he sees something, pushes the button, and the gun releases a ten second air burst. Got the cans and wrappers, even small animals that weren't too flat yet. Scared the heck out of traffic, though. I'd like to figure something out – we get *lots* of angry phone calls when we do paint a critter.

      Seriously, 4 posts and you're at 56p?

        I think it's because a bunch of dogs read the site and keep giving Trillian's posts thumbs up. All four have between +5 and +8 points, and 0-80 will go by pretty quickly no matter what (but consistently high ranked posts do it faster). As you may remember from the discussion and tree porn on Atomic Toasters earlier in the week.

        56 pee on four posts is a lot for a human, but not so much for a dog. Especially one with a PeeHD.
