Nearly took out Bambi's mom driving home from Syracuse last night...

Bambi had hung back, clearly on the instruction of his Mother, while she took on The Road first to test the tarmac. She was clearly a veteran, though, because she kept her head down and kept moving in defiance of my highbeams. No lights-in-the-deer-heads for this doe.Reckon you could barely squeeze a credit card between the gap separating her rump from the bumper of The Batmobile* it was that close. The nerves of every mammal involved in this scene were jangled to the point that I'm pretty sure it was the deer's life that flashed before my eyes and, I like to imagine, it was my life that flashed before hers (What did she make of it, I wonder?).* which, when I'm traveling the north country in my Bruce Wayne pants, is cunningly disguised as a slightly dinged and faded black 2005 Ford Focus with almost-expired-plates.
