Deer Are So Inconsiderate
So, I killed a deer last night … with my car.
I don’t mean to sound flippant, because I feel absolutely horrible the deer is dead, and this is one of the pitfalls living in a rural community. Also, I live in Adair County, Missouri, which, at one time, was the white tail deer capital of the country … they are everywhere.
However, my car is not out of commission until next week, and I had plans for this weekend that actually required me to drive to Iowa. So, now my car needs to be fixed, and that won’t happen until Monday at the earliest. While it looks cosmetic, it turned out this morning I was leaking transmission fluid. No one in town has the part, and of course with New Years in the mix, everyone will be closed, so no car for me.
Luckily I am insured, and even better luck it looks like I only have a $50 deductible on this type of damage. Yay me! Doesn’t change the fact I’m still annoyed by this whole thing.
Here are more pictures of my day. Any image in this post can be clicked for a larger view. (except for the one of the deer fur, no one needs to see that bigger)
