Last night a deer jumped over me and my wife while riding down the road on
the Eldorado. I thought it was going to run into my front wheel or
handlebars, but it jumped right over my head, cleared me, and kicked my wife
in the head as it went over. It was surreal. She's alright, had a bit of a
headache, but the headache was diminished by the joy of having worn the
helmet. Check the link for a photo of the helmet with deer hair stuck under
the visor snap.

Gordon in deer infested Wisconsin, where I'm hoping the newly discovered
Chronic Wasting Disease wastes every last one of them.
