Deer in the Headlights

The cookout Saturday was awesome, as it is every year. It always follows a morning Golf Tournament that R and his brother play in which makes for an early morning for both bartenders and little to no sleep the night prior. Since that was the case and I had only had 3 beers over 6 hours I drove home. This is where the story happens....

We are traveling down 83 South in PA. It is only two lanes in PA and the speed limit is 65. I'm traveling about 70 miles an hour in the right lane. I see something ahead, but for a split second I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. When I got about 15-20 yards away I realized it was a deer that had no intention of going anywhere. There is no real shoulder there, but luckily there was no car in the left hand lane. I swerved, barely missing the deer. When I say I attract disaster, I do mean all kinds. I can only say that I missed that deer and it did not leap into the Explorer by the grace of God.
