This is a news story but it reminded me of my OTM, which still occasionally itches.

Since we are always making the analogy that illegal aliens are unwelcome house guests, I felt this was fitting. Also, I actually admire the intrusive alien, in the following article because he self deported.

House burglar? No, just a deer

SAN ANGELO — After being jolted from sleep by the sound of a window breaking in his living room, Sterling Cox grabbed a handgun and prepared to confront an intruder. Trying to focus without his glasses, he saw a huge figure.

“Freeze!” Cox yelled.

Instead of freezing, a deer rose up on its hind legs.

“Whom do you call to get a deer out of your house?” Cox remembers thinking as he retreated to his bedroom.

Minutes later, the deer, bleeding from glass cuts, left through the same shattered window it had entered around 7 a.m. Friday. The living room was left with blood-splattered walls and carpet and shattered glass.

“I was in shock,” said Cox, 58, whose town house faces a lake.

Bill Eiler, a neighbor, was fishing on the lake when he saw the deer break through the window.

Eiler said he saw two deer swim the small lake and walk up to Cox’s home. While one deer stood on the lawn, the other broke through the window.

Afterward, both deer swam back across the lake, he told the San Angelo Standard-Times.

“Maybe I’ll put some corn outside and feed the deer like I feed the birds,” Cox joked. “That way, they won’t have to come inside to eat.”
