Oh Deer!


These little guys are sure cute when they are little. I remember growing up in Washington and loving when the deer would journey into our back yard. Inexplicably the deer would stop coming when they were older and looked like this guy.


  I now know why the little stopped coming into our back yard. They probably got hit by a car. For being cute and fun to look at, they sure are dumb. While driving on Canyon Road towards Alpine, one of these lovely creatures decided that it would be a good idea to jump on top of our car. I tried to slam on the breaks and swerve, the deer even made a last ditch effort to miss the car (a little too late if you ask me) and he jumped. As you can see from the picture the damage was isolated to pretty much the windsheild (thanks for jumping) and a few dents on the side of the car and now not functioning handle. Besides the minor damage and a scared to death wife (Lauren still swears that the deer looked at her and winked) we are ok and the car will be fixed.

That stinks for your car and bambi. Deer are nice to look at from afar not when they are hitting or jumping on your car.

That is a bummer! Good to know there isn't TOO much damage to your car... I was expecting worse! i hope Yaya calms down soon... the deer probably did wink at her.

Wow, I am so glad that that is the worst of the damage, and of course I'm am happy your okay. Now I wouldn't be surprised if the deer winked out you, animals are crazy that way!
