What a way to start the day. I was cruising along on the way to work this morning just before sunup when a cock pheasant decided to introduce himself to my windshield at 55 mph. Needless to say, neither the windshield nor the pheasant fared too well in the encounter. I've got a pheasant sized dent of shattered glass in the top center of the winshield, and the rest is comprised of multiple cracks about a half an inch apart, top to bottom and side to side. The impact was right where the rearview mirror attaches to the windshield, and the force of the collision was enough to send the mirror flying into my forehead, leaving a nice bump that I could see out of the corner of both eyes. The mirror broke on impact with my head, leaving tiny shards of glass all over my face and down my shirt.
I left the Jeep at work and drove my work van home tonight. The glass company is coming out tomorrow to the shop to replace it. I'll get some pictures of it in the morning when I get back to work.
