On the Dallas to Green Bay Power Tour I was following a Chevy II through Iowa. A deer blasted out of the tree line and slammed into the Chevy's passenger side. The window was down so the deer's nose made it into the car before getting smacked by the quarter glass. Blood and deer snot exploded inside the car while the body flipped up and over the car. It barely cleared my left fender when it came down in the street.
The deer kicked a couple times and died on the yellow line.

Wisely, the driver of the Chevy topped the hill before stopping so his young kids wouldn't see Bambi's death throes. I stopped to check on them and everyone in the car was covered with ick as it was splattered all over the interior. That deer left a respectable crater in the quarter panel.


We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
