Re: [ST] Suicidal Squirrel



Animals do seem to aim for wheels, vehicle ect. I was
hit broad side by a small deer last Oct. I had slowed
to about 15mph for another deer in the road and the
second one ran straight into my front wheel (the mud
cover cost about $123.00) knocked me over and the deer
scampered off.
