Christmas Eve! And the world is shiny and bright.
For most people, that is.
Let me tell you what I saw today, before all the beautiful things I saw for the rest of the day.
In front of my house was a dead deer. It's been there about a week. I figured that the state of New York would come and take care of it in its own time. I never figured on seeing it being taken care of.
Today the dogs alerted me to the presence of something. Often they say, "Hey! There's an icicle! Kill it!" or "Whoa! Noise! Kill the noise!" Today, however, they said, "Hey! Truck in front of the house!"
The truck in front of the house belonged to the state's Department of Transportation. They were getting rid of the deer.
I felt so bad for the fellow doing the job. In the rain, he had to tie a rope around Rudolph's legs and drag him up a ramp and into the truck. I wished that I had a loaf of banana bread or something to give him. But then again, he had deer all over him. Ewwwww.
