Well I fought a deer and lost.  Yesterday while driving to work at 5:45 a.m., I hit a deer. My beloved 2004 PT Cruiser is now a total loss. I had it towed since it couldn't be driven, then received a call about 4 hours later from the insurance guy saying it was not fixable. As you can see in the pictures, both front fenders are messed up along with the hood, grill, and bumper. It also messed up the radiator which in turn was pushed up into the engine messing it up. I was just driving 45 mph; I would have hated to see how bad it would have been if I had been going faster. On the good side, the insurance people took care of my claim in record time. Now I need to decide what kind of vehicle to look for next. I want good gas milage but it also needs to be able to be driven on country roads.

Baby Goat

I became the proud owned of another bottle baby goat yesterday. This one is a 100% Boer boy. I think I will name him Red. He is just a day old and weighs 8.2 pounds. This puts me at 4 babies to bottle feed now. The other 3 (girl- Cinnamon, girl-Blondie, and boy-Buddy) are 50% Boer and 50% Lamancha and are 7 weeks old now.
