Deer Camp Humor
I've been surprisingly productive the last couple days, even (and maybe especially) yesterday's post-vacation hangover day. Frankly I'm a bit surprised at my productivity, but I did need to be getting stuff done, and I do tend to work best when I'm under a bit of pressure to get things done. I spent a couple hours tonight here at home working on stuff for research, but I think I need to pause that for a bit starting tomorrow so I can get a jump on my homework that's coming due soon. And so that I can start practicing piano tomorrow evening for this Sunday's service. Apparently the worship set for this week's been in flux for various reasons, but Blair said he'd get me some or all of the music tomorrow, which'd be good, since Sunday is rapidly approaching...
I just thought I'd pass along this rather funny photo (at least I think it's funny) from "Deer Camp" at my house last week. My Uncle Gary, older brother Aaron, and two of Aaron's brothers-in-law (and one of his nephews) were up for deer hunting the weekend before Thanksgiving until Tuesday midday, before I made it back home. At any rate, Aaron shot a half-rack four-point buck (meaning the antlers on one side were broken off, but there were four points on the antlers that were still there), and I guess they all thought it'd be great to put the deer in a funny pose before they cleaned it and cut it up. So as you can see, they set up the buck behind Dad's brush mower, to make it appear as if it were pushing the mower, haha. I love northern Wisconsin. :-) I just wish I would've been there in person to see it!
This story about the military's new explosives-detection technology is way too cool not to bring up. Bomb-sniffing bees? Better bee-lieve it.

I wonder what the platicized version of the deer photo would look like? It might not rival the horse and rider finale of the exhbit.

You mean that deer doesn't have PEOPLE mow the lawn for it? What is wrong with people in that neck fo the woods?!?

Haha, I guess the deer must not be from Long Island. :-)
