Dear Deer
that is certainly something to be mourned --
glad only damage was a deer -
and repairable body work -
my wife often points out deer on the side of the road --
and what about that crazy elk forest in new mexico ...
or was it arizona ...
what ever .. last thing a fellow from south coast british columbia expected
in the desert
elk---
safely through the herd thus far ...
;)
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
