Dear Little Deer...

Well, I have officially hit my first deer last night...  Bradley and I were driving to Bellefontaine to get ice cream, and I was actually on the phone with Dawn.  Next thing I know, a small deer is entering the far side of the road -- walking, and I hit the brakes, and the deer decided to dart across in front of me.  I was able to slow down considerably, but I did hit it squarely in the grill of the van.

No air bags deployed, Bradley and I are fine (though the junk inside the van has been thoroughly shuffled), and there was no damage (that I can find) in the radiator or anything.  The grill is broken, and will need to be replaced sometime, but it isn't a big deal, praise the Lord!

Here are a couple of pictures of the grill -- though I couldn't get a good picture to show it is broken in the middle...

Lots of Laughs! I am very glad that neither Bradley or you were hurt. The reshuffling of things in the van sounds just like our van. Couldn't help visualizing that event!
