Hit a deer last night. We're ok. The car's not. I hope the deer died quickly - or wasn't hurt at all. But judging from the car damage, I can't imagine it not being severely hurt. I've never hit a deer before. I've never killed anything so big. It's funny how prejudiced we can be. Arriving home after hitting the deer, I killed, with my bare hands, a mosquito, almost without thought. Why the remorse over the deer, and little to none over the bug? Is it that the mosquito could hurt me with a bite and could be carrying infectious diseases? Is it that it was small and I've killed tons of them? Hmm.

Scary! I'm so glad you're okay! Where were you driving when you hit the deer? I know it's not completely rare to hit a deer, but you don't find them down in the valley too often...although the other day Darwin & I saw a raccoon trying to cross the street behind Wal-Mart in Orem. It's the first time I've seen a live one down here.
Oh my goodness! What cute kids! Oh yeah...I kinda like them for some reason =) Thanks for sharing that, it made me all smiley and giggley. Love ya!
Welcome back to Utah, I guess! That sucks, but I'm glad you are ok. Was someone in the car with you? Well, I guess you know you took some hair off the deer at least! :) Where were you when you hit it? I know you really want to relive the event, don't you? :)
