Here's a tip for you new drivers: while driving down back-country roads at night, LOOK OUT FOR DEER.
They are hard. And furry. And they make a sick little THOCK when you hit them.
We were going about 25 or 30 mph when the deer leapt out in front of the car, on the passenger side right in front of me. When it first materialized I thought it was a large dog, but I immediately realized it was a deer when it buckled under the car. It kind of writhed out and scrambled around until it got to its feet and dashed up the snowbank. It was the sickest thing I've ever seen.
I hope the deer didn't die...when we got home we checked the car and it was ok, but there was a big tuft of fur stuck in the grille. Poor deer.
On a lighter note...BMS hasn't had school since Tuesday before Feb vaca, due to a sewage problem. Let me rephrase this. The damn Barrington middle-schoolers haven't had school for almost THREE WEEKS because the SEWER of the BRAND NEW, 21 MILLION DOLLAR SCHOOL is on the fritza, spewing shit and POISONOUS GAS into the school. Only Barrington would have to cancel school altogether because of a SEWER MALFUNCTION.
Doncha just love New Hampshire?
