One dead deer later...

Last night we went out with our friends, Debbie and Pete. It had been way too long since we had last spent a fun night out with them. We let them pick the place to eat since they always find very quaint, out of the way places where John and I would never think of going. You see, John and I rarely if ever step out of our comfort zone while Pete and Debbie thrive on discovering new places and having new experiences. Last night we went over to the Fox and Hounds near Holy Hill. I hadn't been there since high school so I was excited to see how it had changed. We had a great fish fry, the kind that only Wisconsin knows how to prepare and serve, some drinks, and lots of good conversation.
On the drive home we hit a deer with Pete and Debbie's brand spanking new Volkswagon Taurengo SUV with only 2500 miles on it. The deer was dead, the car was hurt, (whole front cowl and grill smashed) and we had to sit in the car for a half hour waiting for a deputy to come and write up a report for insurance purposes. Apparently our big county of Dodge has only a few patrol cars out and about and he had to come over from a town way on the other end of the county. When he arrived he looked all of sixteen. He apologized for taking so long and asked if we wanted the deer. Well, NO! Report was written and we headed home.
It is always an exciting time with Pete and Debbie no matter what we do. They sure know how to make a night memorable.

Sorry to hear of the accident. But as long as everyone was okay,I am glad. Vehicles can be fixed. Lives cannot. No pictures?
And you didn't want to keep it? Free food?

Glad all the passengers were unharmed. It is definitely a memorable experience.
