Near Miss

I went for a quick ride after work.  Usually, I worry about traffic and debris in the roads.  I was just 1.5 miles from home, when out of the corner of my eye I see two brown shapes running towards me.

"Dogs!", I thought.

One of the shapes ran out in the road right in front of me, the other veered away.  The one in the road was just about 8 feet away.

It was a deer!

It continued across the road and bounded over a fence into a trailer park.

Jeez, you never know!

By the way, the deer statue above was made in commemoration for John Deere.  Before they made tractors, John Deere made bicycles.
