disturbing sight

I was driving to meet some friends from work for drinks tonight, when out of the corner of my eye I saw the poor remains of a small animal. Or so I thought. Morbid curiosity abound in me, after looking for other traffic I took a closer look as I went by. It turned out not to be a small animal, but someone's weave, left knottty and abandoned on the median of a right turn lane, laying there like a hubcap no one cared about going back to pick up. I'm not sure if I'm more disturbed by the fact that people actually wear those things, or that eventually some bird will make the base of it's nest out of the discarded piece laying on the side of the road.
