So I am cruising along with the cruise control set on County Road E-18 near the Boone and Greene County lines just south of home up in Webster County not too far from where Holly and I came across about three dozen Holstiens in the middle of the road at almost midnight one night last summer when what do I see...? An EMU walking along the side of the road. You can imagine the look on my face as I am cruising at about 75 MPH and this 7 foot plus tall bird that looks a lot like an OSTRICH is looking around and "pecking" for food along side a small flock of pheasants...I hit the breaks REAL quick and did a triple take and swore off drinking for life...
