Well, it had to happen sooner or later. I drive 42 miles, mostly rural, in the dark each day and have seen my share of deer standing safely in the distance on the side of the road. This morning was different. With my high beams on, I saw one with its shoulders about the belt line of the window. I blinked and the next thing I knew....SLAMMMMMMM. I saw my side mirror collapse inward and a beige blur. I pullded over and found fur in my door handle and lock edge and my ds door trim missing. I was lucky and only ended up with 3 small dents. One on the ds door and two on the front fender. I walked back a picked up my door trim peice and found it intact, not bent at all. If I'd been a quarter of a second slower, I would have hit it head on at the 40 mph I was doing. I'm off to the brick yard for clips this weekend and reach in to pop the dents out.
I wonder what my horoscope reads today.....don't get out of bed yet.
