Oh, deer!*

Dragon Mood? -- did it really happen?

Time has been slipping by, far more quickly than I had realized, since my last post. That post was all about a tree falling on our roof during a destructive storm here in the Motor City.

Sunday night, Mother Nature's second hammer -- so to speak -- fell. Driving home from our friends, J & J, along a two-lane country road, a deer jumped out of nowhere and hit my car, cracked my windshield and tumbled the entire length of my car over the roof. I wasn't hurt. It all happened SO fast, it took more than a few seconds to register what had just happened. The deer's face and then the cracked windshield verified it for me.

My car's in the shop for all of this week and next. The estimate is at around $2400. Ouch! This is one time that you won't hear me bad-mouthing insurance companies ... at least yet!
