Friends,
I wouldn’t normally post something like this because the underlying story is fairly sad, but you can’t ignore the craft displayed by master Press-Enterprise wordsmith Richard Brooks in this case. Behold:
A dead horse is creating a traffic hazard along 58th Avenue just east of La Quinta, according to the California Highway Patrol website.
The carcass was reported at 5:18 a.m. in the westbound lanes at Jackson Street and was still in the roadway at 6:14 a.m.
There was no word on what caused the critter’s death.
Just keep the quality high, and the readers will come. The cream floats to the top, you know.
