I'm here, but for a bit. Got to go to work tomorrow and put a cap on my Christmas shopping. Been very busy at work, haven't had a day off since December 10th and monthly closing starts the day after Christmas but we are so behind, I have to knock in some work into the system. I'll be here for a little bit.

NOW--I KNOW why I got that comprehensive insurance after all. I guess, once again--God knew--even though I had NO IDEA that was going to happen.

Not too mention--those who have seen the car say it was a miracle that the windshield did not shatter and the deer come into the car--and we all know what could have happened then!!(those who have seen "Tommy Boy" know what happens when a deer is inside of a car--and I would have been IN THE SEAT!!)

Even the usual-doubting Chuck,(who does NOT think that God watches over his children or blesses us) said it was a miracle that the windshield, held--you can see where the deer rolled over the windshield, onto the hood and over the left fender, damaging all but the windshield, which only has a "grease pattern" on it, where the deer slid down it. So..I may not have to pay a lot of money to fix the car after all... God does know what he is doing!!

Glad to hear that everything is going to turn out for the better, I hope it still works out fine. Hope you don't mind some sundry cleanup from last weeks agenda, been busy at work and I haven't had a true day off since December 10th. The lady who runs the room I'm in, she's a devout Roman Catholic, told me that when "one hears such a voice or a gut feeling, usually it is God or an angel trying to tell you something." Well, I seem to believe it myself when I think back about moving my car from the tree. Getting a little closer to Earth, I remember in "Magnum P.I." where Magnum says, "if you hear your little voice, listen to it." My inner voice has kept me out of trouble but if I don't listen to it, I end up in a mess.

I've seen and heard my fair share of messy accidents both with deer and other. I worked at Budget Rent-A-Truck from 1989 to 1991 and we had one truck called "The Deer Slayer" where it did take out a deer, it was a 24' box truck and another one like it called "The Widowmaker" where a guy in a Geo plowed into the rear of the truck, his car went under the trucks rear and the liftgate, well, decapitated him and his head was in the back seat. Both were International trucks, IIRC.

Getting back to the deer, we have a huge problem with them here in Pennsylvania too, one has to be careful.

Did Denver win for you today? I was busy in the kitchen all day with my mom and sister and didn't see much football.

I had a great time with my family though. Lots of laughs of course.

We even played charades; it was fun :)
