In the mean time

here, on the hill, Sting is da man!

It was not melting. I was sure I was going to have to miss my dinner/meeting.

Sting went out and threw the salt sand by hand so I can get out.

He is also going to drive me down the hill, because that is the most dangerous way. I should be able to make it up tonight without getting hurt.

So the trip to see your MIL definitely didn't happen, huh?

The trip is cancelled. Sting told her on Sunday.

I am more worried about our clients who do not have their deer protection done yet. That could be a real problem for us.

and for them

You let Sting give his mother the news--very good! :wink:

But some deer may be full and happy.

A couple weeks ago here at work, we noticed that a deer had been rubbing his antlers against one of our trees and nearly completely girdled it. We're surrounded by forest, but this deer had to pick a tree right next to our front entrance! :x

We've got some hunters who work here; stuff like this could tempt them to slide open a window and take a shot right from their desk... :wink:

And they would do this because they have no other source of food and there are no grocery stores in the area?????

I had much angst about it, as he put it off longer than I thought was prudent.

The deer eat prized shrubbery - bushes that have cost these people more than most people make in a year.

Not being a hunter, I won't attempt to explain their hunter instincts. However, despite there being rules against discharging weapons in populated neighborhoods, when I hear their stories of stalking for hours through the woods without result, only to have the game walk right up to their office window and taunt them, I can understand the temptation.

Yesterday, it was a couple wild turkeys.

There have been 'rumors' about caretakers shooting deer 'out of season', supposedly 'on orders' to do so.
