I was heading to check traps on the Farm this morning and had an ambulance and two sheriff department vehicles pass me. As I neared the turn off, I noticed alot of LE vehicles and Fire Department vehicles on the side of Hwy 138 near Nunnally Farm Subdivision entrance. I went down to see what had happened. A large doe deer had attempted to cross the hwy and was clipped by one car. The deer went airborne and went thru the windshield of a Dodge Ram Pickup on the passenger side. Fortunately, the driver was not hurt. Some pics are graphic.

OMG - I would have freaked out. Last week as I was going down highway 20 past Miller Bottom, in the pitch black of morning, a deer must have run out of the woods on my left side By the time I saw it, it was right at my driver's door running full speed. I kept going hoping to miss it, and it hit the back end of my car. Amazingly, no damage was done to my car! I don't know what happened to the deer since there was no where to pull over, and it was too dark to see. My heart was beating a mile a minute at that point. If THIS had happened to me, I think my heart would have stopped!

David, it's still there we are just in the process of working out the bug on uploading photos to…Read More articles that we authored (ugh!). I just didn't want to promote it and have people try and upload photos unsuccessfully. Depending on how long it takes to address this issue, I may keep June open through part of July - I hope not. If you have any photos you want to add, email them to me and I will upload them for you in the meantime.

That is the strawberry fields. I have a picture of the strawberry fields between the welcome to…Read More Loganville and welcome to Grayson signs that I will get up soon.

Yea, sorry David. We are still dealing with some "issues." It rejected Jason's blog, and…Read More none of us, not even our top regional editor, is being given authority to release it. Poor Jason, I know he so hates being rejected! And we hate it happening to him. The people not being "bugged" by technical issues, however, are reporting that it is super easy to use.

I wonder. Will Patch restore the reply button and add a responded to your comment notification?
Sharon Swanepoel (Editor) June 19, 2013 at 09:21 am
Please keep these comments coming. We are forwarding all these issues to our production team. The…Read More ones that are most pressing are more likely to be addressed first. Once we have the initial roll out completed and working well, the tweaking will begin.

Good news! Her name is Izzi and she has been reunited with her owners.

All good points, Skalawag. I think bullying is a big problem with teens. When people are bullied…Read More they either become depressed and introverted or they become bullies themselves. We have examples all around us ;)
" the government phobic response" . . . good one and a perfect description of so very many comments on Patch.

As usual Dave all you have are complaints about possible solutions but NO solutions of your own to…Read More offer.

I remember my Great Grandmother putting just enough coffee in a cup of milk to color the milk and we…Read More would sit and have our "morning coffee" together before we went to the farmer's market on Saturdays or before we went to church on Sundays.
Those were some of my most cherished times in my life.

So glad you have found your voice again Skalawag!

Me too. Couldn't have done it without you and your great IT team. Thank you Sharon.

DR, seems like an oxymoron doesn't it? I'd like to hear from someone who is actually from there to…Read More find out their spin on why they even enter a contestant in the first place. It's my understanding that a woman that shows that much skin in public will be flogged or worse? Maybe democracy is taking ahold in some places, who knows?

I was wrong. Guys are interested pageants. You would no doubt be happy if the contestants just…Read More wore the face shawl with their bikinis.

Couple of thoughts -
One, why hold it in a land where there is going to be this kind of protest?…Read More Just move it and don't worry about it.
Other, I find it interesting how the Muslims want us to be understanding and inclusive of their beliefs, but don't even think they'll allow anything they don't agree with. Just a tad bit hypocritical...

They're not Americans. They don't deserve to step foot on American soil.

I think John and Sarah could handle them . . . you betcha! They would probably beg to be sent back to Gitmo. LOL
