country roads: the tale of the flying deer

After americano olympics last night I went on a little drive with my friend Arin out of the city limits. The coffee shop started to get quite loud and crowded. And to be honest my americano wasn't very good. I actually bought a coke to redeem it. Anyhow, I love taking long drives on beautiful nights and it seemed like a good idea. It was a perfect night for some loud worship music in the car, rolled down windows, and back country roads. My thoughts were flying a million miles a minute and then....so was the deer that I hit.

My awesome perfect night turned into flashes of flying deer (I'm not kidding that thing hit air!),deer fur on the hood of my car, and a nice antifreeze leak, broken headlights, and smashed front end, all the way home. But I'm glad Arin was with me - knowing just what to do, say, and pray. And I actually laughed more than was stressed about it - I surprised myself. I was thankful that it wasn't worse and that the car was halfway drive-able.
So I woke up today and took my car in, and luckily my sister isn't driving her car any time soon so I get to snag it for the week.

The End

last night was alot of fun, even if half our fun was at the expense of a deer. I'm glad you're ok and that your car is getting all fixed up and you've got a mitchie car to drive this week.

Remember the deer you saw in WV? Well, they were being "harvested!"
Glad you're okay. I had a very good friend whose van was totaled after hitting a deer.
