THEY ARE NOT SO DEAR & A GOOD LAUGH

I've imposed a one day truce on myself
I will not speak, write, nor even think much about
the latest political/media gab fest and circus.
A principle I stressed in my news organizations was
"proportionality," a method to keep a story in 
perspective.  
Not all news executives practice that code.
It makes me long for the days of the pre 24/7 news channels.
So today, something more "primal."

THE SAVAGE DEER

OK, they are not "savage" in that sense, but they savage flowers and gardens.

People in the village are mixed in their reaction to the deer.  Tourists love them of course, "so charming" they say to see deer just roaming the open spaces, lots and on the road.

 Some actually feed them, which drives serious gardeners crazy, because there is nothing they wont eat.  Even with the "hand outs" and all of the grass and weeds, they seem to zero in on blooming flowers and roses.

So, there are some who grumble and talk about how nice it would be to organize a thinning of the heard.  A one day bow hunt is the favorite of some of the hard core deer haters. All of that is probably just talk.

In the meantime Cambrians build fences, look for secret ways to repel the deer (good luck with finding one that works) and drive with extra caution.  While the deer are bold about storming across a deck, climbing your hill and destroying your rose bush, they are also either stupid or fearless when it comes to cars.  They just don't seem to care.

Savage deer!
HERE IS A LAUGH FOR YOU
Part of my life was spent as a television news anchor.  I worked with one of the world's nicest guys-Bob Gregory a meteorologist.  Bob has a sunny disposition and loves to laugh-
well, sometimes it would be like this on the air.  Enjoy 

Full disclosure.  I was one of those off camera chortlers. 

See you down the trail.
