Mom's first deer

By Brien Lee

It was the opening of the gun deer season yesterday and my mom got her first deer. This one dented up the fender pretty good. The car survived. The deer didn't.

I think it's pretty good that with all the deer around someone can drive regularly for 50+ years before hitting one. I know that most of the time it's not a preventable accident - my dad had hit deer on two occasions while traveling freeway speeds. Take a drive up north at night if you want to see a lot of deer close to the road. It is a dangerous situation.

My oldest son received his driver's license Friday with only one deduction on the test. He probably thinks it's a big moment in his life, and it is, but it's also a major milestone for me. My son, behind the wheel of a machine capable of taking him places he never dreamed possible, or using it for destructive purposes, he is now old enough to choose. I have every confidence in him to choose the right path. I am proud to call him my son. He is a good reflection on his teachers, his friends and his parents, as is his brother.

Watch out for the deer!
