Tuesdays with MeMe didn't happen today

This Happened today

I was on Highway 63 ( I call it the mine road).

I was about a mile past Shiver De Freeze Road
just starting down the hill.
It was so fast. Out of no where something landed on my car and the
hood flew up and covered the windshield.
The impact knocked me into the oncoming lane but luckily
no one was coming. As I threw on the brakes, in that split second, I could see out the very bottom of the windshield and I saw the deer.
It was falling back down onto the motor of my car. It
hit, bounced and hit the front of the car for a third time.
The poor deer then began rolling down the hill in front of me as I tried to find a way to get off the road with the hood still covering my windshield.

The front and both sides of my car are smashed.
The radiator is pushed in.
Basically, the whole front of my car is a goner.
John and the tow truck driver pulled the hood down.
That was when it was obvious .....
The deer jumped onto my hood!

The deer was a nice size young buck.
One of it's horns broke off on my car.

John was in Lamar County. When he got there we walked back up the hill and found the beginning of the deer hair and the spot of impact. The deer jumped from a high bank
that was right next to the road.

There were so many things that could have gone wrong.
But, they didn't.
I am shook up but unhurt
and
I am thankful!
