[TR] Kiss of the Cuckoo

[terryrs@comcast.net]

I believe in my last post I was mentioning how everything in my TR3 had been 
sorted much to my satisfaction.  The car was registered.  Yesterday it passed 
inspection easily.  I was positively happy and confident as a puppy with an old 
stinky sneaker.  I believe I also mentioned having driven my son from San 
Fransciso to New Hamsphire, a distance of over 3,000 miles.

The three thousand and tenth mile.  This morning I got ten miles from home to 
work in the dark on the first drive in the LBC this season, when a deer jumped 
in front of the car and I hit it at 60 MPH.  It was a big deer.  I'm thinking 
more proactively about Randall's LED headlight project....

Driver fender and side of the apron very much crunched.  

It'll be in the body shop for a while.  That's what I get for baldly stating 
how good things were.  Kiss of the cuckoo.

I'm thinking to sue.  That deer must have been inebriated drinking acid water 
from the coal fired power plants in the Mid-West.  Just, I doubt that deer's 
family is going to step up.

Anyone else have such bumps with drunk critters?
