Isn't it amazing how these virtual spaces now can have so much importance to us? The psychology of blogging and incidents like this is really pretty amazing. I am very glad you got things straightened out, deer and Prius aside. I've heard that deer populations in many areas are at record highs. This can only mean one thing: It's time to cast aside your vegetable-eating ways, and embrace the path of the carnivore. Ask Santa for a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.30-06_Springfield" rel="nofollow">30-06</a> for Christmas, and do your part to keep culling back the local deer population in Jersey-- with a hunting license, of course, rather than another automobile. :-) Will:

Sorry about the deer. I used to live in Northern MN and there was a saying: There are two kinds of people: Those who have hit a deer, and those who haven't yet! Welcome to the club!! :-) Glad you and the kids are OK. Sorry about the deer.

A vocabulary lesson indeed. The way I see it, people should let their children ride with you, Will. They just need to be proactive in dealing with the naughty words they could potentially encounter. Right, Will? Who wants a "walled garden", right? I'm sorry for two things. 1) I'm sorry Cialis took you down. it really isn't supposed to do that from what I gather. And 2) I'm sorry to have such a laugh at your expense. The web snafus you describe would have me pulling my hairs out. But hey- you started it by being darkly humorous. I mean really... the "backtext" of the deer image reads: "I hate you"? That's good stuff. Here's to a speedy digirecovery. Sean Exactly Clarence…

But i think that it is great that Will is driving such a green car. I am happy to hear that everyone is OK. (except the deer, of course) And don't worry about the expletives, that is what Dads are for now and then. Funny Clarence! But i think that it is great that Will is driving such a green car.

If you had a 3/4 ton 4X4 truck like mine, that deer wouldn't have even slowed you down... Then you could use your Prius as a life boat. Throw it in the back of the truck instead of the deer. But really, glad to hear all are OK and that you managed to throw a vocabulary lesson in as well. You know….
