They can eat and poop at the same time. Thank goodness they don't work at McDonald's. If you take a step back, you can enjoy this comic ballet between humans and the soft brown grazers with the constantly twitching tails. One deer, as many as two dozen, will be casually grazing by the side of the road. A car will come around the bend and slam on its brakes.
Windows roll down.
People, as quietly as possible after you've laid a cloud of rubber onto the Sierra pines and run clattering with 50 pounds of Sports Illustrated camera equipment, will stalk the deer. Or, more recently, the quiet whir of camcorders. It's as if the entire experience wasn't real unless it appears on their TVs. Then another car stops. And pretty soon, you have a nice little traffic jam right in the middle of paradise.
