observations on Mobile, and another dream

so i was driving in to work today, and i saw this car... with tail feathers tied to it's bumper.  Mobile-ites seem to have this thing for attaching trailing things to their car.  the tiger tails i understand - Auburn is the local university, and their mascot is the tiger.  and these 'bumper-feathers' i understood when i passed the car, which was painted out on the door panels with (i think, i was paying more attention to driving) a NA life or battle scene or something.

the one i don't understand was the toy rat tied to *another* car's undercarriage!  it was plush, but really?  i'm all for jokes, but if the driver was responsible, that was non-obvious, heh.

but raptors and their prey were apparently the theme of the day - i saw a falcon or something light on one of the light poles on I10.  that was kind of cool.
