I inconvenienced a deer

November 16, 2020 by Lloyd 7 Comments

Wednesday morning, right outside of Seward, by the parade of flags, I noticed a deer on the other side of the road headed away from me. I let up on the gas and then noticed the other deer on the shoulder moving toward me. I did two things next, and I think one of them was wrong. I slammed on the brakes and slammed on the horn both at the same time.

The second deer had time to get to my lane and then spent too much time wondering what I was honking about.

I hit the deer.

But not too hard.

I pulled off the road to check out the damage. I’d seen lots of cars that had hit deer and wasn’t looking forward to seeing the front of the car. But it was surprisingly mild.

I spent a lot of the rest of the drive in to Lincoln trying to put those 1 or 2 seconds in some sort of order in my mind. I think I was going about 50 mph when I saw the first dear. I think I had my foot off the gas for maybe half a second before I hit the brakes and maybe a half second of braking before I hit the deer at maybe 35-40 mph. It could have been slower. I don’t think I could have been going much faster with that little damage.

The deer didn’t go over the car or up on the windshield or anything. There was no blood. The deer walked away. I think it gave me a dirty look for honking.

Packing

August 9, 2015 by Lloyd 8 Comments

I went to an auction on Saturday to buy some monitors for school. I learned that my way to pack monitors:

mon2

Is not the only way to pack monitors:

By the way, you can fit 46 twenty inch monitors in a Prius.

Taxes – check!

April 14, 2009 by Lauren 19 Comments

Useless bit of information: Did you know that if you move your right hand over one key space on the keyboard my name is Kayreb? Neither did I. I found that out while logging in in the dark. Left hand over is…..Lsutrn. Not as good. Both moved in? Ksytrsb. Try that with your name -but don’t look while you type. It will be a surprise.

Oh – taxes! That’s what this post is about. They are finally finished, thanks to Lloyd the Wonder Dude! He gave me a scare yesterday when he said he couldn’t find my W-2, so I tore things apart at work and then came home and tore things apart here, unleashing a fog of dust in the air. I was in serious search/panic/pray/berate/sick mode for well over 30 minutes here.
Finally he said, “What does it look like? It’s usually those quarter-sheets of paper stapled together.”
Me: “It was in an envelope this year.”
Lloyd: “Oh. This.” – drawing it out of the tax pile.

I was not mad, but eternally grateful to be spared the call of shame to ask for another one. Anyway, he’s typity-typing along – then suddenly sighs and says, “It’s the saddest tax question.”

No. No, I did not buy, and I do not appreciate having it rubbed in my face, thank you very much.

Poor Lloyd. He so wants a Prius.
