The One With Wildlife

I am a champion mouse catcher.

Today, for the second time in my life, I came face to face with the ferocious rodent and prevailed.

Its a good thing too. The mouse was residing in the home of a 97 year old woman...and lets just say she and her walker don't move very fast.

But don't tell the mouse that I was later bested by another four-legged creature: a deer.

Yes, while stopped at a rural stop sign this evening, I had a frightening - albeit brief - encounter with a poorly coordinated deer. No...I did not hit the deer. The deer hit me. In my car. Which wasn't moving.

The sad thing is, the first thing that came to my mind when it happened was, "This happened to Rory once on 'Gilmore Girls!'" Wow. Life really does imitate TV.
