JeffK: Yeah, Liz got her car back. It's apparently a mess, but unfortunately driveable. Yes, I say "unfortunately", because that simple fact of driveability means she's screwed out of the insurance payoff she would have had, otherwise. This was Thursday night that they found it, and I haven't talked to her since, so I don't know any more details.

"I feel I must point out that LOA is apparently about the closest person to Simon, geographically. I think we should demand she make a pilgrimage to determine once and for all the exact measurements"
Why make a pilgrimage? From where she is, she'd only have to stick her head out the front door to get a look at it.

You people are sick. And there's no way- *sees part of Sol outside the window stretching on* I stand corrected.

I wouldn't feel so hot if I had to execute an animal like that ... And it's a responsibility if you're alone
Hot? Dude, if that deer had hit me a bit further down, he might've knocked me off the road. I wasn't feeling hot, I was feeling "oh my god I could've died" (it's a very narrow road).
Thank god for cell phones, because, honestly, the only thing I'd have to kill the deer with is my MagLite and I don't think I'd want to beat it to death with that. Trust me, I'd've preffered not to have hit the deer at all.
As for the "deer frozen in headlights" ... I don't know if that's what the deer does, or what the human reaction is afterwards. It certainly seemed to me like the deer was "frozen in my headlights" for a few seconds before we impacted, but I certainly don't think it actually "froze", just that I focused on its heads (my eyes, that is) before I hit it.

So thst's why people have MagLites. I suppose the mini-pen one I keep in my car wouldn't do. And what was it about the idea of bludgeoning this poor creature to death with a torch that so disconcerted you? How traumatic it would be for you, having to listen to it's squeals of pain as you laid into it? Or were you concerned your torch might get damaged? 8)

Actually, I have a MagLite to help me find my way to homes who don't turn their house lights on
I think it'd be a bit painful for the animal to be bludgeoned to death by a flashlight, don't you? I know I for one would rather get shot then bludgeoned to death.

A friend of mine has a survival-knife in his car, but not primarily for deer. I worry, really...
What Geena Davis did was pretty good, though. Taking it by the horns and twisting, but it could get pretty nasty if the poor thing still stands, like you said. Might take you a couple of minutes, especially if he's hefty, huh?
I'm sorry, this is horrible, but I thought of that "Jim Carrey"-movie.

Yes, I got the car back... sorry, didn't realize anyone here had even noticed that it was missing
It was trashed on the inside. It had a dead batteryv that took a while to get started, and they aparently removed the computer in my car at least for a while, if they put it back at all. It hasn't been to a mechanic yet, so I don't know if the parts that are there are actually parts to the car, or just crap parts stuck in to make me THINK they didn't damage the car. There's some body damage that needs to be taken care of (grr!)and the car was taken on a 150 mile joy ride, according to the odometer. I got it back on Friday morning at 1am, and since then I've cleaned it up a bit, gotten it washed, and had the body work appraised. Monday I have to take it to a mechanic and have THAT checked out, then I have to take it to a stereo shop to have an estimate done on replacing all of the factory installed stereo equipment that was gone. Tues, my insurance company is appraising the value, and from there I'll get a check... but I still get to keep the car.
Anyone ever read the book by Stephen King called "Christine"? That's what I've named this car now, because no matter WHAT happens, it keeps coming back.... quite frankly, the car scares me at this point, but what can I do? Pleh.....

And on a side note.... Geographically, yes, I'm the closest to Simon.... but I'm not so sure that I want to spend time with the measuring tape like that I AM, however, taking a trip to Seattle at the beginning of March.... *grin* Yay for Old Navy!!!!!!!!!!!!
