Running Animals Over

Last night it was ever so misty as I drove home from
Huntly, 40 miles away from Antarctica Heights - I could only
see four or five white lines ahead of me as I hurtled along
the country roads at 90mph. I was very tired but after
having spent a fab evening, I was feeling mellowly happy.

But then, something awful happened.

I was driving along a straight when I saw a deer run into
the road. I braked, but the deer seemed to lower her head
and ran straight under my car wheels, crunching as its body
was crushed. I felt absolutely awful and very upset. The
thought that I had just caused the death of this poor animal
was so saddening. One minute it was alive, and the next, its
consciousness was wiped out forever. :(

i'm glad you are alive.

I hope you took the deer home and cooked it for dinner! No
sense wasting it...

I believe it's only legal for the next person that
comes along to do that.

or that may be in Amerricarr.

Jon, I am a vegetarian, so deermeat is not really my gig --
I hope I do not read about someone crashing into a deer
corpse and spinning off the road, dying - that would
really be a pisser.

hobbes - I was not consistently doing 90mph - sometimes I
slowed down to 70mph.. misty evenings are great - the other
night Fiona and I were parked by this Nature Reserve, and
when I went into it to take a leak, it was really eerie and
scary, and I heard voices shouting across the shrouded
landscape. Awesome.

saying 'i know what you did last summer'

I did have fleeting thoughts of Animal Spirits as I drove on
last night -- however, it was an accident and I feel
suitably cut up about it. I was thinking about the deer's
family :(

do deer have a strong sense of family ties?

I really cannot say - but if she has offspring, I am sure
that they will mourn her absence :(

I did not stop, no. I think it would have been very
dangerous to stop, considering how misty it was... a car
might have come carousing around a corner and *splatted* ME.
