Cows on my mind

It is that simple:

It was a gruesome accident May 22: A truck driver lost control and his rig carrying 36 cows partially tipped over on an overpass along Interstate Highway 80 near Hazel Crest, sending some of the animals plunging about 25 feet onto Interstate Highway 294.

The death toll totaled 16 head of cattle, including one badly injured animal that police shot to end its suffering.

An animal-rights group now wants the Illinois Department of Transportation to erect an official roadside memorial sign.
I see what Findalis meant by her proposal of a memorial, but my mind demands a more specific reminder:


As for chips: I have it there in advance: to mollify the PETV people.

Yeah... anyway, it's clear now: steak for dinner today.
