So, I rent this cool 2006 Mustang convertible. I've got four days to myself, and an itch to see a friend who has cabin 10 miles from Bodega Bay, CA (where they shot the movie: THE BIRDS).
I figure, I'll leave Vegas, and drive through Yosemite on the way. Two miles into the park, a deer jumps out of the hedges and commits suicide on my Mustang.
I'm unhurt, and the car is driveable after I bend the wheel-well back so it won't rub on the tire (note damage to the passngr side door, too)
So, now it's off to the Oakland airport to trade-out cars with Hertz. Done, done, and done.
Aside from a speeding ticket from California's finest, the rest of the vacation is hunky-dory. Coast was great!
I get back to a brand new VO job, and Don Randall is here, visiting at the Venetian. Lunch, and pics of us tomorrow for Deebs.
Ain't life Grand!....now all I have to do is wade through 4 days of unread VO-BB posts....you guys are prolific!

Love that misty coastline.
I'm glad the encounter with the deer didn't take a pound of flesh from you.

Dave,
Did the Mustang come with a deer hunting license?  I'm glad you're ok and the pic of you on the coast is super.

Dave killed Bambi’s mom!!!
I hope this didn’t happen in front of a school bus full of kids… like in Napoleon Dynamite.
