Edmunds.com has an article on dealing with the deer (and other animal) danger on the road:

Don’t veer for deer: I once rode up a mountain road with a good-hearted (but wrong-headed) man who was very focused on dodging the squirrels that regularly darted out in front of us. I finally told him: “If you crash while attempting to avoid a rodent, I’m going to go back and kill it.” I was serious. Risking your life is one thing, but risking mine or those of my family to save an animal is stupid. Many, perhaps most, deer-crash injuries occur when drivers attempt to avoid a deer and hit a tree, another car or run off the road and flip. Indeed, the Michigan Deer Crash Coalition says, “Don’t Veer for Deer.”

The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan, at 5 a.m., flashed a gun, demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn’t open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren’t available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked away.
