Beware the Odocoileus Virginianus

While running around the block in the early morning I was running on Sherman Rd. which has a soybean field on the left and corn on the right. I heard slight rustling in the corn and looked in that direction and saw a deer. I continued assuming they would ease back into the corn. Oh No!!! Two brown rockets fired in my direction running one in front of me and one in the back within 5 feet. My run picked up a bit due to the adrenalin dump, however quickly wore off and I felt as though I had legs of stone for the last mile. Damn deer probably thought they were funny.

lol! Man, we don't have wildlife here...so animals running at me would be a rarity. Of course we do have a lot of those damn prairie dogs! I hate them!!! They stare at you while you run by with beady little eyes. Its creepy.

lol, that's kinda scary! Sometimes I see deer around here (yes, in Berkeley...I don't know why) and they stare at me with their creepy eyes. I am sure they are plotting something and your experience only furthers my suspicions.
