I forget how many deer I've hit, it was either 33 or 37, plus 2 owls and a cow. (It was my cow I hit the one time I took my wifes mini-van to work and the cow was just over the crest of a hill on a snow covered road! No damage to plastic hood of van or the cow!) When you drive for a living in horrible weather, stuff happens. Some of those deer were in groups FWIW. I've never heard of anyone recommending "turning off the lights" and I'm not sure who would have the time to do that since most of my deer hits were split second affairs where they jumped in front of me out of no where. Most of the hits were at night while enroute to a call someplace, some were on blue bird days in the summer. I've avoided probably a thousand deer over the years by braking and by swerving when I could. All our Troop cars had the "deer whistles" on them for a few years. They made absolutely no difference in the number of deer hits we had- zilch, nada, zero! Complete waste of money IMO. I've tried to drill into my kids heads that if you see a deer on one side of the road, his buddy may well be on the other side and one of them will likely want to cross to the other. I can't think of too many people I know that haven't hit deer up here.

Today's Featured Article - Measuring with Calipers - by Staff. The legs of inside calipers are curved outward at the extremities to facilitate measuring small holes, while outside caliper legs have a large curve inward to increase their capacity for large work. Firm-joint calipers are adjusted approximately by the hands and then set to the feel of the work by tapping them on a metal surface. It is a common practice when opening calipers by this means to tap the top of the joint. It is better, if possible, to tap the inside of the legs, as repeated blo
