“In this field we have a slew of deer and on this street we have a car; driven by *ba ba buuuuuum* Margaret Thaden!!!! Which one will prevail and which one will fall? We shall see in the following post!!”
Wednesday morning and Margaret is leaving for work. She’s going down one of the snow routes for the hospital which means it’s traveled on quite frequently. As she’s going down a hill she sees a deer pop out of the field on her left and dart across the road. Well, she’s already going slow, but she slows down even more to around 10 to 12 miles an hour. And as she’s creeping by the area where deer number one flew across, WHAM!!! Damned deer number two ran into the side of her car. From what she said the deer ran into the headlight on the drivers side, flew on top of her hood, slid off, and then ran away.

“Oh, and that’s a bad miss!”
Margaret goes up the road a notch or two and pulls off into a parking lot to look at the damage and she sees that the bumper is pulled out and that the turn signal doesn’t work. Other than that, so far so good. Then she hears glass shatter and another car pulls in beside her. This guy came out asking if she saw the deer. After Margaret explained that she got hit, the guy looked at her car and said, “that’s nothing, look what that deer did to my car!! It kicked my car’s ass!” Seems like the guy slowed down to, but he happened to hit a deer and the thing fell over. As he was getting out of his car to check on the animal, the deer was kicking and broke all of his headlights trying to get up. As it got up, it some how managed to jump on the hood of his car and really mess it up.
We thought the damage wasn’t too bad and that it’d be under our deductible. Boy were we wrong. Damned estimate was $1,700 dollars and that didn’t even include a new fender if they couldn’t fix the one that’s on there.
Seems the deer pushed in the headlight and bashed the total backside of that: new headlight. It pulled the bumper out and put a nice crack in it: new bumper. And it curled the end of the fender where it meets the headlight: possible new fender. The rest is paint and labor, but my Lord what a pain.

“As you can see folks it’s a draw. The car survived and the deer ran off; hopefully to it’s death. Till next time: Road, KILL!!!”
Our little family currently consists of Darryl, me, along with our pups Lucas & Lily. We've been together for 14 years now, and we love every minute of it. I enjoy all types of crafty things such as knitting, crocheting, photography, sewing, and making cards. Darryl enjoys gaming (both PC and PS3), playing guitar, cooking, and just veggin out. Lucas and Lily just love to sleep, eat, and pets.
