As you cross into Clayton County, there is a black and yellow sign warning you about the possibility of deer crossing for the next five miles. The first time I read it I laughed out loud. I think there should be such a sign at all entries into Georgia. "We're glad Georgia is on your mind. Watch for deer. We're not kidding."

Don't get me wrong. I love deer. More specifically, I guess, I love venison. Nothing like a big ole slab of deer roasted just right and hot on a plate. Now that's good eats, to quote my favorite television cook, Alton Brown. I'd rather see deer on a plate than deer in my headlights, I can tell you that.
