How's This For Frightening?

I saw some deer on my ride today. I just kept thinking of this video but Im pleased to say they all remained pretty close to the ground and well out of my way.

I had a visitor a few months ago in my yard. I was mowing the lawn and had stopped to empty the catcher as I turn around to start mowing again there is a Deer a big one too. I dont know who was more shocked it or me. We just stood there staring at each for what seems like ages and then he/she turned started to move quicker and jumped over the back fence. You could not wipe the smile of my face.

What gets me is the fact that the deer was running so fast the biker that almost hit him didn't even have time to hit the brakes. That's a good thing because he would have crashed for sure! I almost decapitated a squirrel yesterday-scared the @*&$ out me and the squirrel . We missed each other but being the newbie, I must admit-I slammed on the breaks and almost wrecked. Next time-bye, bye squirrel!

This actually happened to me the one and only time I've hit a deer with my car. It came out of the treeline already just streaking across the road. It actually head-butted my driver side window...the deer literally T-boned me, shattered out the whole window, and caved in my door and doorpost.

Interestingly, if I'd hit the brakes at all, it might have come through my windshield instead. But, I was on the highway and there was oncoming traffic, so I was grateful I hadn't swerved or braked hard and lost control.

One interesting factoid was that I was wearing a business suit, and when I got home, I found shards of glass all the way down inside my pantyhose panty!
