At McDonald's, Deer Has No Place

I just came from McDonald's and the time before that I noticed a car waiting behind another car whose driver was waiting for the red light to change. The people in the car behind him were tooting and yelling obscenities at him for not moving. I yelled, "He's got a red light." It was obvious that he wasn't about to make a right hand turn.
Today at McDonald's, I parked next to a restored, red, Ford pickup. I deliberately left room on my side to open the door all the way as I am still having trouble with my meniscus repair and my left knee does not bend well. Just as I started to get out, the owner, a short, young guy, and his son got into the restored truck. I opened the door, and the guy immediately threw up his right arm and cried, "Just hit ...!" Then he realized I hadn't.
I replied as I struggled out of the car, " Didn't hit it, buddy. Don't have a fuss over nothing."
As the Navy Seal instructor said, " The mark of a man is not what he says but what he does and what he allows to happen in his presence." America needs more men like that.
On my way over to the library where I blog so certain people can't backload child porn into my computer as credibly as they could do at home, I passed a deer walking along the edge of the road in the middle of the day. I had passed the same deer last evening. She crossed the road in front of me which was no problem as I was going only about 45. Last year this deer was just a spotted fawn and she had a sib with her. Mother must have been killed. These two fawns would come out of a small patch of woods across the road to an estate that has horses and cattle. Last fall, I almost hit the second one as they flashed across the road. Fortunately, I was also driving slowly then. Then last winter, the other deer was apparently killed as I saw a large blood spot in the road at their crossing site. Today, the remaining deer was walking along the edge of the road on the estate side. She looked like she had no place to go which is very possible as the area is building up. Just let our animals and plants be destroyed for housing for the millions of illegals who are flooding into our country! Let's stand up and speak out, Americans! Since when did so many of us acquire spaghetti spines? peternickerson12@yahoo.com
