[OT] The buck stops here?
http://www.wsmv.com/Global/story.asp...&nav=menu109_3
In Paris, TN, a deer charged into a bank through a plate-glass window, trampled several desks, and eventually ended up trapped in the branch president's office. The president kept the office door shut to keep the deer confined until a wildlife officer arrived to tranquilize it. The article reports that no one was hurt, but the deer must have had at least minor injuries after charging through a plate-glass window. Paris, Tennessee is about 85 miles (about 137 km, if I did my math right) west of Nashville, where I live. -- John F.

Poor thing! It must have been terrified! I hope they restored it to the
wild. -- Joy **Don't believe everything you think** "John F.

It's that time of the year. A buck went through a window here last week and ironically died in the office of the Kansas Association of the Medically Underserved. I guess he tried several other windows before he went through this one so he was probably plenty confused. http://www.cjonline.com/stories/102905/loc_deer.shtml (free registration required) It's not all that unusual to find them in downtown Topeka as they come up from the river. I went for a walk around our state capitol one Veteran's Day and came face to face one that seemed to be out for his daily walk, also. I just stopped dead in my tracks and let him go his own way to get away from me. He was just a young one, pretty small yet. Actually, he might have been a she. Beautiful animals, but they sure do some stupid things this time of the year. Lorraine |
