stupid deer

What a crappy day! On the way to work this morning, about 8:30 a.m., Mark was on the freeway in the middle lane when he hit a deer and consequently the impact pushed him into another car. No one was hurt -- except the deer -- thank goodness. The "new" car is smashed up with a ton of body damage, so we're out a car for awhile. To top it off, the police gave Mark a citation for an improper lane change. He's VERY upset and will fight the courts on that one.

PS -- Update (11/9/11) Mark has spent the last two weeks worrying and being upset about the ticket. He spent half a day at the courthouse waiting to see the judge to plead his case today. The courts were very backed up and when he finally got his turn, the judge took one puny glance at the citation and immediately threw it out all the while muttering about why in the world the police would even try to take up his time with a silly deer accident... We are all very relieved and happy about the outcome. We should have the car back before Thanksgiving.
