A deer crashed through a bedroom window into a house in midtown Lincoln last week, causing around $5,000 damage before exiting through the front door. It's not entirely unusual to have such events. I recall a few years ago when a deer walked into KMart and caused quite a commotion.
Capt. Marty Fehringer had a good deer story from early Friday morning. Officers were busy with the investigation of a serious injury accident, in which a minivan ran over a man laying in the street during a rainstorm (you can't make this stuff up). As they were finishing up near Centennial and O Streets, right at 2:00 AM, a deer came prancing down O Street, right through the height of bar break, eventually heading south and disappearing into the neighborhood near the State Capitol.
That's the heart of downtown, and you have to wonder how she managed to get that far into the urban environment. Over the years I can recall police scrapes with deer, turkey, cattle of various breeds, and even as ostrich. Don't mess with a 6 foot tall bird, by the way--at least so I'm told.

I got a nice deer this year.
It's not all that far from downtown to Haymarket Park, and I've seen deer running along Salt Creek near there many times on my way to the ball game. Maybe the pedestrian bridge into the haymarket should have deer crossing signs installed.
As I recall, wasn't there some deer excitement just a few years ago around 10th and O streets?
I seem to recall too, just in the last week or so, several reports of deer struck by vehicles in the city.
And speaking of wandering critters, I was disappointed somewhat last week to see no stories about the bull that had escaped from somewhere and ended up on Rosa Parks Way. I heard several shots over the radio, I am guessing that the critter had to be put down?

Is the blog going to be called 'The Directors Corner' now?
I see why the blog has been so slow lately. You've been busy. :(
The Comissioner's Corner or just Comish's Corner has a nice ring to it. Don't you think?
