Ah, yes..."Laughing Deer Trail", near Brighton, Michiga--a stretch of road 
where deer made a habit of leisurely sauntering out in front of our car and 
staring at us..one of them took out a side mirror with his head...that one 
didn't cost us much, but the one we hit in Novi did well over a thousand 
dollars in damage. And that was ten years ago.
