Service call of the month from a Baltimore Gas & Electric residential customer .. BGE received a call from a customer saying: "My power is out. When you come to fix it be sure to bring a truck with a tall enough bucket to remove the deer". The customer service rep prudently trying to gather helpful information to help diagnose the problem asked, "What deer"? The customer replied, "There is a deer on top of one of the electric poles on Wilkes Road about 1/2 mile west of Perimeter Road". The customer service rep tried desperately to pull herself together and not laugh in front of the customer and replied "We will dispatch someone right away to investigate the power outage. Thank you for the call". Upon completion of the call, the customer service rep proceeded to share the funny story with her co-workers in the office and they all had a good laugh. Well, low and behold, the serviceman who repaired the problem stopped by the customer service office the following day with the attached pictures. Sure enough, the poor deer had been hit by a train and landed on top of distribution feeder pole!

Another pic. The train tracks (not pictured) are to the left of the poles, probably a good 30 feet away (~10 meters) away...

I saw a dead deer for the first time today by the side of the road. they're pretty rare in this country so it was quite sad. Still, I did see a squirrel successfully run across the motorway :)

I'd never seen one in the wild till recently. I was out walking near my work and saw these things moving in a really strange way on a hillside. It took me a while to realise what they were.

I'm gonna capture me a deer and keep it in my living room. Then whenever I think the world is getting me down i can look at the deer and get an instant feeling of warmth and love.
