The Hour of the Deer
By Michael Boyajian
Dusk for the city dweller is a time between night and day when existence takes on a mellow air free from the frustrations of the work day. It is a time for decompression before the beginning of evening. But it is a different feeling for the suburbanite for it is the hour of the deer. This is the time when deer come out to forage for food and frolic often leaping in front of your moving car causing total damage.
