I finally went through that Wisconsin rite of passage of hitting a deer with my car tonight! Looked up from lighting a cigarette, it was crossing the road, and we swerved the same way. Oops.
I am underwhelmed, yet relieved, at the minimal amount of damage my vehicle sustained.
No word on the deer's condition. Two beers, I would have gone through proper protocol - stop and make the call. Three beers, so I kept on driving.
I may feel like an asshole about it, but I'm not stupid.

That's not too bad. Last time I hit a deer it was around $2,300 worth of damage. Thank goodness for insurance. I had a $0 deductible for that sort of incident.
And it doesn't really matter if you report it. Really just need to do so if the deer is blocking the roadway. Otherwise there isn't really anything they do about it. If your insistence requires a police report you can just call it in saying you didn't realize you needed it due to minimal damage to your vehicle, etc.
Glad you and your car are ok! These things can end quite badly if you're going fast enough and the deer is big enough. Fuckers come out of nowhere!!

Deer went flying toward the roadside ditch. I swerved toward the center line & oncoming lane, but so did it. It happened on a rural county highway, so it was poorly lit. I was going about the posted speed limit of 55mph, also because I was three beers in. I figure at my size, 2 1/2 beers puts me at the legal limit... and let's just say I know it costs something like $3500-4000 to successfully fight one's way out of "on the bubble" charges of that nature.
I've just seen and heard so many instances of smashed-up front ends and broken windshields that I think I got off easy here. My hood latch seems to be tangled up and unreachable in that dent, but that's something to investigate in daylight hours. Hopefully without authorities or insurance getting involved.

I lost my glasses. No idea where they're hiding. Boyfriend & my parents keep asking me "Well, where's the last place you remember having them?" And I can't answer because I wear them all the time, sometimes I forget I even have them on (I've gotten in the shower with my glasses on so many times. It's a once a week occurrence).
Wait.... so you were too drunk to drive, you got distracted by lighting a cigarette, hit a deer, kept going for fear of a DUI, got home and decided to post it online even though you are trying to become more involved in your local government and your job involves you driving your car around to deliver pizzas???

This is driving me insane.
When I was a freshman in college I lived in the dorm, and I lofted my bed to make more space. One morning (luckily a weekend) I accidentally knocked my glasses off the shelf next to my bed onto my desk below. I couldn't find them anywhere, and it was compounded by my near blindness. I had to call one of my friends to help me look. Took about 45 minutes of me bumbling about, half asleep and seeing everything blurry, before they were found in my printer. They had fallen into the top loading slot and lodged between the paper and the ribbon.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

I normally keep my glasses in their case when I go to bed. But last night I dozed off in the recliner while I was reading then woke up and marched to bed. I don't remember if I took my glasses off while in the recliner or what I did with them.
We've moved the bed three times. I'm about to take the recliner apart to see if they're stuck inside somewhere my hand can't reach.
I'm 90% sure I had them when I left my parents house yesterday. I don't read without them so I must have had them when I was reading later that night. This cursed recliner must have ate them otherwise the mice came and took them hostage.
This was the fight that I got into with a deer in 2009. He literally ran into the side of my car.
I can relate to this too! Driving home from roo in '06 a deer ran into the driver side mirror of our car, bounced down the side then got up and ran into the woods. It was about 2am but luckily I was only about a mile from my house. Unluckily it was my moms minivan, so I had some 'splainin to do the next day about why there was a 3 foot dent in the sliding door. It was terrifying though, we didn't see it until he just ran into the side of our car. Really glad it wasn't the front though. I worked in Mississippi for a bit and heard horror stories about hitting deers head on.

I'm at the vet with my dog. There's one guy having a meltdown over "no one being able to keep an appointment," and then this family walks in with their bulldog that has no collar or leash, the kids keep running up to my poor, anxious dog. The one little shit just pinched him!
It'll probably end up being some wacky explanation/excuse for it.
It sounds like they've ruled out any wiggle room on it.
Seems like a dumb development to me but I'm not terribly familiar with the comic book side.
I don't know could be good. Sounds much better than the super flat version of him they have going on in the movies. I mean when I heard they were bringing Bucky back I thought it was going to be the worst thing ever. Ended up being one of my favorite Cap arcs. With a pretty good spin off as well.
Tonight I got to shake the hand of Mike League and Larnell Lewis and just say thank you. They laughed at me thanking them (probably like you do in their life) but I hope they dug it because I can't thank anybody enough for what they did tonight. Snarky puppppppppyyyyyyyy.

In other glasses related news, after having a feeling he had issues for a bit, my younger son had his vision tested recently. It turns out he is nearsighted just like me. His very first pair of glasses came in the mail yesterday. It was heartwarming to watch him walk around checking things out as he could actually see things more than five feet away from him for the first time in who knows how long. It's going to be great to watch him discover some in the next bit.

I remember when I put on my first pair of glasses when I was in Jr high.
I walked out of the office and was amazed at the trees. I COULD SEE THE INDIVIDUAL LEAVES!
You don't really know what you're missing until you see the full picture. It's like putting on a good pair of headphones for the first time, or seeing HDTV for the for first time.

Thanks for that. I had been trying to think of a good comparison since abrakapokus has never worn glasses, and those really work.

YES! I got my first glasses at Costco, and when I put them on I was amazed I could read the signs clear across the store (which you know is super far, if you've ever entered a Costco).
