Gary, Glad you made it home safe! My sister in law is a quadraplegic (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) thanks to deer in the road; seatbelts do help, but so does defensive driving (her sister swerved to miss them and rolled the car). Better the deer than your own neck... Rich --- Gary Liptrot <n7zi@comcast.net> wrote:
Good wx joke C.H., Speaking of off topic stuff, my wife and I went deer hunting with our '93 Buick last night and bagged us a big ol' 4 point. Biggest buck I've ever seen (Course I'm not a deer hunter so any buck could be in that category... B). It crushed the front quarter panel of our car, smashed in the hood and I found two dents from his horns near the windshield wipers and one horn tip almost came through the windscreen in front of me. Instead of crashing in on us, it rolled over our slanted windscreen and landed behind us. We were coming back from Park City and were about 5 miles from Coalville. Could have been disasterous but we are unhurt. Probably a good warning to all you star gazers going up and down canyons this time of year. Oh and best advice of all is to wear your seatbelts, we always do!!!
Tnx es 73 de n7zi Gary (the deer slayer)

Hey, Gary, good to see you post.
Im reminded of what a meteorologist once told me.
Do you know the difference between "climate" & "weather"?
Climate is what you expect; weather is what you get!
