It ain't just Maine, the Deer and Antelope and Moose are playing closer and closer to urban areas, I almost hit a Deer the other night in the Port of Albany, right in the middle of the city.

Insurance statistics show that deer/moose strikes are happening at a rate of 4000 per day nation wide. It's the highest it's ever been.

One of the biggest scares of my life: Early AM, narrow 2-lane, flying low in a diesel Rabbit. This thing the size of a horse popped out of the ditch on my side. I'm hard on the brakes, knowing I can't stop in time and knowing I'm about to take the legs out from under a 2-year old moose. With less than 10 feet to go, it veered back toward the ditch, and I got by. Nothing worse than two black marks on the road and a weak feeling in my body for the next few miles. Looks like the folks in the Lumina weren't as lucky. It doesn't take long. Drive alert.
