Lifestyles Report…Oh deer

Look! The deer is as big as a pony or a donkey. While I was sitting at a major intersection near my house I looked over my right shoulder and there was a deer running through the parking lot of Monroe Muffler and Brakes. This deer was going fast and the streets were packed with rush hour traffic. The deer stopped for a minute and then dashed through traffic, barely making it to the other side without being hit. This one made it to the other, but I’ve noticed how many dead deer I’m seeing on the side of the road. It seems the deer are not very bright or I’m thinking they don’t see very well. These deer are a major nuisance in the suburbs and the city.
Years ago, back when I was a kid, I never saw deer in our yard nor did I see them at the corner of Lincoln and Lemington Avenues or on Washington Boulevard. Now they are everywhere. Has there been this much construction or destruction of their territory that the deer have come into the city? It reminds me of a scene in the movie “I am Legend” with Will Smith. Do you remember the deer running down the empty street? This year I put out begonias because the florist told me the deer did not like them. He seemed to be right until recently. The flowers made it all through the summer but now I can tell the flowers have been chewed by the deer. A friend told me that they will eat anything when they get really hungry.
