Many years ago, I was driving on one of those "single track" roads over in
Scotland, with a teenage (female) cousin in the pasenger seat. Suddenly,
one of the ubiquitous sheep that seem to line these roads decided to cross
right in front of me. The cousin shrieked, turned her head to the side, and
wrapped her arms around my head -- just as I was taking evasive action.

I hate to think what might have happened if this had taken place over the
threshold with a deer, fox, goose, or some other animal crossing the runway.

There are distractions, and then there are DISTRACTIONS!!! :-)

And some of them make it really difficult to breathe!
