Oh Deer!

I was driving at about 50 mph on my way to pick up Jason from work when I hit a deer. I was sure when I realized that hitting it was inevitable that I was going to damage my minivan really badly, but there isn't a dent or a scratch. The poor deer flew up into the air and down a steep bank. I hit it right before a bridge over a creek. There was no shoulder to pull over on, and it was pitch black outside. I hope the deer was okay, but there was no way to tell. There were a few small blood spots on my hood. :( I'm really amazed that at the speed I was going that there was no damage to my vehicle. I'm hoping that since the van wasn't damaged at all, maybe the deer will be okay as well.

And then on my way back home I hit a rabbit. It was as if animals were flinging themselves at my car.

You're lucky it wasn't the rabbit from Monte Python & The Holy Grail!

No kidding! That sucker would have drawn more blood than poor 2Flower did with the deer. :->

Too bad about not being able to stop and find the deer. Venison's not bad. ;)

I definitely wouldn't want to run across that rabbit on a dark night! ;)

Pam, I could just see myself dragging that deer up the hill. If I managed that, my luck would be that I only knocked the wind out of it, and it would wake up halfway home and do a scene from Tommy Boy. ;D

At least no one got hurt. When I hit a deer, I had a Caviler and I totaled it...$7,400 worth. Plus I didn't want to drive again for 2-3 monthes.

Hey, 2flower! I'm glad your van was not damaged and I'm more glad you were not damaged!
