Anyone ever been in a car/deer accident?
I was last weekend, on my way home from Cleveland. The damn thing just hopped right out in front of the car. By the time I saw it, it was too late to avoid it. The car wasn't driveable and it ended doing $3500 of damage to my girlfriend's car that'd take about 17 days to fix. Thankfully she and her parents understood that there isn't really much you can do about a deer hopping out in front of you, and that the car's insured.
The state trooper said she saw a report on the news that if you see a deer, you should just hit it head on, rather than try to avoid it. First of all, who in their right mind is going to instinctively be able to decide to try and hit this living thing head on in the spur of the moment? I mean, I don't want this 100 pound animal flying through my windshield! Turns out it's for liability purposes in case you end up hitting another car or running off the road.
But now I've been figuratively seeing deer all over the place. I was watching "Medium" yesterday and the lady kept having her dreams involving a deer (relative to a murder trial). I'm like, Make it stop!
The ironic part is on my way to Cleveland, we saw some guys in the woods with rifles and they were obviously deer hunting because it's mating season. I was mad because I detest the whole idea of hunting. But for the one they let get away, I guess I finished the job for 'em.
