Yesterday Stacie and I spent the day at the San Diego Zoo. We had a great time, and I’ll be posting pictures soon. The ride home however wasn’t so fun.

About 30 miles North of San Diego, cruising 70 mph in the far left lane of the 5 freeway, something appeared before my car: a BEAST. The freeway was near pitch black, so I only saw the beast for a split second. It was the size of a dog, but had the shape of a cat. As soon as my headlights lit the beast up, I began to swerve out of the way…but alas, it was too late. With a loud *thud* my car smacked into the head of the beast. At first it was unclear what the damage was, so we pulled off the freeway to check it out. It wasn’t pretty.

As you can see it ripped through my bumper and significantly tweaked my fender. But luckily Stacie and I were ok. The car will get fixed and life will move on. If you have a weak stomach, please avert your eyes from the next photo. It shows the nastiness left from the beast.

And if you’re wondering, I’m pretty sure I won the battle. If you’re driving around the San Diego area though, keep your eyes open for the ghost of a headless BEAST!
