He and the kids were on the way to school this morning when out of the corner of his eye he saw a flash and before he could react he had come face to face, in a very unromantic type of way, with a fashionably medium sized doe. She hit the brakes but didn't hit them fast enough to avoid contact with the big, green Burby and it's occupants. She hit the grill and light assembly on the drivers side and whipped around from the force to finish out her damaging debut down the quarter panel/driver's door....and rounded it all out by leaving some hair and yucky brown stuff that I'd prefer the hunters to be stepping in while hunting not on the side of the truck!! Jetta was in the front seat with Troll and was thrilled to have the "cat-bird-seat" view (as Troll called it). Austin was devastated that he'd been dozing and missed the event and the other two boys just exclaimed about the incident in their typical "oh, cool!!" fashion!!
I'm ever so thankful that this incident didn't happen in my car. Troll is planning on taking that to school tomorrow due to the truck needing to be dropped off at the shop for a driver's door handle needing fixed. With the force and damage that was done to the Burby it would have totalled my poor little car and done who knows what to the occupants inside. So insurance has been called, the estimate man has done his estimating and we await the papers for that so that we can get ol' green fixed. The deer was picked up by a man from our church and delivered to a needy family. So all around...everything is good! I will go out tomorrow morning and take pictures so I can post em tomorrow eve! Again, I don't want to take for granted the fact that the Lord had His hand on them and kept them from anymore damage than what happened. He is good to us...ever so good to us!
And from the deer...
"Hmmm...Should I go? Should I wait?"
"I am DEER! I am Invincible!"
"Uh, oh! I am STEAK!"
