Right? Man. I instantly thought Why did you come this way at
this particular time of day!? It was ideal deer collision time.

You know that effect where film footage will be in real time
but at a crucial moment it slows down so you see every detail
then it speeds up again? I swear I spotted that deer and time
stood still as we looked each other in the eyes until it broke
away back into the woods. Heh. Like you'd hear me saying
NOOOOOO in slow motion.

I was lucky, for sure. Nothing I could have done at the moment.
