DEER!!!

[Todd Young <tyoung@wamnet.com>]

Damn deer, these are the suburbs, there aren't supposed
to be animal road hazards.  Granted the Twin Cities
probably has a bit more foliage than your average big
metro area (or HAD more foliage, before all these
wind/rain storms we've had).

Driving in to work this morning, cruising @ 60mph
(in a 45 zone) when I see this big brown beast come
prancing out into the road from the left. BRAKES!
(Thank Audi Gods for 4 wheel disc brakes) Lucky
for me, a sport-ute coming from the other direction
clipped the critter and sent him/her spinning. I had
already slowed to a crawl and it got up and ran back
off the left side of the street. I never even got close
to hitting it, but it sure surprised me.

Next time some tree hugger starts complaining
when a city wants to eliminate the deer population
in an area, tell them they can pay for the body
work on all the vehicles that hit the damn things,
otherwise shut-the-hell-up.
