Or better yet, try a deer, yes, as in Bambi --well, I hope not.  Last summer
on my way to Chicago the truck in front of me runs over a dear and pretty much
made it into deer tartar, so it was only somewhat bumpy to straddle in the V8-
made an awful whack as I drove over the carcass and I had that smell of
venison when I arrived at the next gas station.  But no damage, just a few
fuzzies underside.  So a big rig probably saved my life!
