-6F on the way in this morning. At one point there was a recently deceased deer in the oncoming lane, I moved into a handily available right turn lane to give the car coming up behind me room to get past without hitting the deer, but not surprisingly the guy was driving far in excess of the reach of his headlights and slammed the deer head on, his car bounced quite a bit and he just kept on driving.

I circled back and dragged the carcass onto the shoulder. If nothing else I'm saving myself the joy of riding through the mushed up remains of the deer in coming weeks as it gets slowly ground to a pulp then rots into slime. Especially since I hope to switch to the road bike later this week - no fenders. ew.
