- Well, to even things out, a hunter in this area was shot and killed by his
- 15 year old nephew, who 'mistook his uncle for a deer.' Gee officer I am sorry
- I was driving under the influence of alcohol, but 'I mistook my car for a taxi.'
- Incidently, the uncle that was shot was wearing a fluorescent vest! I have
- to question the mentality of the people running wild through the forest with
- powerful rifles, and shooting at the first thing they *hear*. But, that is
- another story.
