the fact that I hit a deer and had to buy a used car while we were still making payments on Holly’s car means that I cannot get a new Insight in any reasonable amount of time. dangit.

Deer update: My deer is gone today, finally, almost 3 months after she and my car killed one another.
…or is she? Not 100 feet down the road lies another lady deer, in a state of similar distress, but just a smidgen more intact (less of her skeleton is visible from the road, anyhow). This lady deer was NOT there yesterday. I’ve been on the lookout.
Is it Friend Three? Or did my deer travel both 30 yards west and 30 days BACK IN TIME?
I leave it to you.

Deer update: Friend Two entertained another gentleman caller today, in bald eagle form.
So dashing! And patriotic!
DEER UPDATE HAIKU
a deer lay in sun
snow blankets her now anew
meaty peek-a-boo
car update: I ended up buying a Mazda 6. I liked the 3 better, but I found an unsurpassable deal on the 6, so hey.
casualty update: my deer is still there by the side of the road; its snout and one hoof rise forlorn from a snowdrift. I see it every day. It will be there months from now, perhaps to attract nearby scavengers with the wild ripeness of its thaw, offering their first taste of life and plenty as the bare cold winter recedes to spring. ZOMG, I’m a fucking roadkill poet now.
Roadkill update: my deer is still there, receiving attention from carrion birds.
Carrion bird update: we saw a bald eagle hunting bunnies in the corn. Wow!
to-do list: 1) shop for cheap, used car 2) rent helicopter, high-powered rifle 3) deliver justice to deer, palin-style
