A FAUX PAS with another American. Yesterday, Good Friday, I was outside my place taking pictures of my damaged car for State Farm. I hit a deer early Good Friday morning, thus not a good Friday for me!
A visitor to the Island with a beautiful dog, was walking his dog by me and I commented on the dog, which I had seen at the beach catching a Frisbee in an amazing way. I asked the guy where he was from as he had an accent. He said from Argentina. Then I said, “yes, where Pope Francis was from.” Then we spoke a bit about that. He lamented that Pope Francis never visited Argentina after becoming pope. And then I said, “and now we have the first American pope, Pope Leo.” And he said, “no, the second American pope!” Oh, my! Two car wrecks on Good Friday!

Thank God you are fine. Hitting a deer sometimes results in serious injury, even death. I live in a County with lots of deer running around and one must always be so vigilant!
Sorry for your car damage, sorry for the deer, and glad to see you escaped unscathed, at least until you deal with State Farm. I was pulling up to a stop sign, a guy came across in front of me from the right at high speed and turned in as he crossed oncoming traffic, him aiming for a gas station behind me, he never saw me as he continued turning into the side of my car, crushed the area in just at front of door, totalled the paid-for car, police report said it was all his fault, State Farm paid off my car which was just enough for down payment on new car, other guy insurance company contested paying for my car, it went to arbitration where State Farm decided it was cheaper for them to not fight the other company, said I was 50% responsible, kept my deductible, and stuck me with higher rates on new car. I went to another company with police report and adjuster finding that I was not at fault and got that State Farm ruling ignored, but only with that company, and would need attempt that same bypass again if I swapped insurance within 7yrs.
