  1. A Friday Morning in Karratha Starring mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty MIKE* *sung to the tune of the jingle from the mighty mite commercials – mighty mite is similar to vegemite, aka disgusting

  2. meet the supporting cast(in order of appearance) Jane Cavanagh as “Auntie SJ” Joseph Cavanagh as “Muffy_McGregor” Ruth Cavanagh as “D.R.”

  3. David Cavanagh as “Unkie Dave” Our mom as “mom” AND Lisa Cavanagh as “Mommy Leela” No photo available a dry river bed as the “river”

  4. The Drive to School • So Auntie SJ drove Muffy to school Friday morning at 8:15am • On the side of the road where SJ dropped him off was a dead kangaroo – the same one that had been there Thursday afternoon when SJ picked Muffy up • The kangaroo looked funny – it was on its back with its legs straight up in the air

  5. Kangaroo Background Info • Kangaroos are all over Australia • Aussies say the intelligence level of a kangaroo is somewhere between a rock and an amoeba • Kangaroo road kill is not an uncommon sight • I’ve seen more dead roo in my time here than dead deer all my life in Canada • Only some dead roos have their legs straight up in the air

  6. The Conversation at Home • Later in the morning Auntie SJ mentioned the funny looking roo at Muffy’s school • D.R. said “A dead roo!?! Where? I wanna see?” • Unkie Dave said “I want to go see it, SJ let’s go take pictures with the kangaroo” • Auntie SJ said “Yeah, let’s go see if we can make it stand up” • mom said “Don’t touch it. Dead animals can carry diseases.” • Auntie SJ said “Really?” • Mommy Leela said “Yes Auntie SJ, didn’t you learn that in Brownies?” • “NO.” • Unkie Dave said “we’ll wear rubber gloves” • Mom said “what are you going to do with them when you’re done?” • D.R. said “sterilize them in a sink of hot water”

  7. Roo Visit #1 • So Dave and SJ drove to Muffy’s school and parked beside mighty MIKE. • He smelled poorly • We decided sticks were the best bet to prop up mighty MIKE. • We looked for sticks by the “river” • We found some and Dave proceeded towards mighty MIKE.

  8. Unkie Dave, mighty MIKE and Two (2) sticks

  9. Roo Visit #1 continued • Vehicles began to drive by • Not knowing if there are laws in Australia that prevent people from playing with road kill, Unkie Dave and Auntie SJ fled on foot to the “river” to pretend to be doing something else • It took a while for the coast to clear but then…

  10. SUCCESS! – mighty MIKE stands

  11. Roo Visit #1 continued • Pleased with their work and with more traffic approaching, Dave and SJ climb into their vehicle • Auntie SJ notices the view of mighty MIKE from within the vehicle and says “Unkie Dave we need a picture from this angle” • Unkie Dave waits for the oncoming ute (aka El Camino) to pass and snaps a photo

  12. mighty MIKE proves that a broken neck doesn’t stop ALL kangaroos from standing Note the position of this ute and its trailer

  13. Roo Visit #1 continued • That ute on the last slide was the passing vehicle we had waited for before snapping the photo • After it turned the corner it braked and stopped in the middle of the road right about where you saw it last • Thinking trouble may be brewing, Unkie Dave and Auntie SJ fled the scene par l’auto, leaving mighty MIKE behind to fend for himself

  14. The Drive • After fleeing the scene, and noticing the ute occupants had driven back to mighty MIKE, Unkie Dave decided it would be best to take a large detour and then return to check on mighty MIKE • Unkie Dave and Auntie SJ really wanted mighty MIKE to still be there for the children as they exited school that afternoon (no one’s allowed off the premises at lunch) • When we returned to the scene, the ute was gone and here’s what we saw…

  15. mighty MIKE having a beer!

  16. Back Home • So it turns out the ute guys rocked • Unkie Dave and Auntie SJ gladly shared their adventures with Mommy Leela, D.R., and mom • Later that afternoon, Dave and SJ went to pick up Muffy_McGregor at school and check on mighty MIKE

  17. turns out mighty MIKE wasn’t doing so well after all (This is an action shot of Auntie SJ, a little embarrassed to be seen posing for a photo with her only new friend in Karrathawhile the school moms watched.)

  18. The Deal • The children began to stream out of school • Along came Muffy • “Muffy, do you want a ride home from school?” asked Unkie Dave • “Yes” • “Well you have to pet mighty MIKE first” • “Okay”
