This quick article was tailored for Thanksgiving vacation.
But the same threat always lingers when on lonely mountain roads, or even
Interstates !
I advise to get the Deer Warning gadgets and put them on a car before any
trip outside a city area.
I remember when I went to Romania, there was a wonderful tour guide.
Though it was still the Communist era, he took us to Orthodox churches and
the marvelous monasteries for which Romania is so famous.
Later, maybe 10 - 15 years after, I was sorry to see a story appear in San Francisco
Examiner Travel Section about how the writer was on a drive with this same guide, Nick, and
a deer jumped out at their car. Unfortunately, it plastered itself completely across the windshield
and ruined the car -- and the author's trip !
I wouldn't have read the story had my eye not caught that familiar name.
The dramatic tale set in a rural Romanian milieu pounded in how very worth it is to PRAY for safety.
Also to not be lazy and go buy the Deer Warning devices to
attach to the front bumper of any cars one may be driving or a passenger in on a longer trip.
