OK, yesterday was weird. It started out normal; I went to work, had a fairly uneventful, if not slow, day. I get a call at 2:00pm at work from Will. He has to go over to Mary and Meredith's house (they are our roommate's parents and our personal friends) because Meredith crashed the car... into his porch. Actually, he ran inside quick, with the car off, to get something. He forgot to put the parking brake on, and the car is a manual transmission. It started rolling down the slight (extremely slight) incline, then crashed over a three foot drop into the garden, then halfway over another three foot drop onto the patio. The car took out a support to their upstairs deck.
Well, I got off of work at 2:30pm, so I meandered on over to see what happened. I won't even say anymore, but the pictures say it all!
So, Will, Sean (our roommate), and Meredith (Sean's dad) created this rediculous jury-rigged ramp out of wood for the car to roll down. The frame of the car was caught on the concrete retaining wall. It took a few hours, but they did eventually get it down. The car still works and everything, minus some body work and a broken bumper.
In the middle of the car fiasco, we heard that Sean's brother, Tim, shot a nice 8-point buck while bow hunting. I will enclose a picture link of that, too. It made the day even weirder. When we saw it, they had already removed the head to have mounted, and the hide was gone, too. So, they had this huge deer hanging upside down in the garage and were cutting the fat off of it so they could get the meat for grinding. Very surreal!
Anyways, here are the pictures!

WARNING! The link for the picture of the deer is below. Please keep in mind, it was already beheaded, its skin taken off, and they were starting to process it. It would be considered graphic to some. (Also, if you choose to look at it, that is your choice. Don't tell me I'm sick for posting it, because you're the one who looked after the warning.)
HERE is the link for the picture of the deer. The guy bending over is Sean's brother. He's about 6'2" tall. It was a BIG deer (keep in mind, they had already taken a lot of fat and some meat off of it by the time I got there).
Oh, and a random picture of Regiford with lettuce on his head!
