An unexpected sight in our driveway

I went out to get the newspaper around 7:00 this morning and was a bit bleary-eyed. Plus it was a bit foggy and misting. When I first glanced at this I thought it was a large dog sleeping, and for a split second I wondered why it wasn't waking up when I walked by.

Then I realized it is a dead deer. I suppose someone hit it while it was crossing the street -- and they either hit it so hard it was knocked 15 feet into our yard or else it managed to get there on its own before collapsing.

In any case, our street is rather short and I'm wondering how someone could have been driving fast enough to kill a deer.

And I'm wondering how txrad is going to dispose of it.
