Everytime I think about moving out of Texas, I walk out the door into something like this.

Yes, Texas is great. How many other places are there where dinner delvers itself? :)

Never had venison. Never plan to. Actually, while I am not a vegetarian, I have meat less than once or twice a month. I try to eat as low on the food chain as possible.

However, I am taking my neighbor out for catfish tomorrow. Of course, the catfish don't just swim up to the front door.

Canada.

Now, that's where the catfish must swim up to the front door. Probably all fried and everything, right?

I'm really hoping you don't murder the beautiful deer. :(

Yes, it's much better to keep a cow, pig, sheep, or chicken in jail all its live before you kill & eat it.:(

Funny looking squirrels, if you ask me.

No, actually, it's not. Which is why I don't generally eat meat. :o

Neat, what kind of tree is that?

For that you have to move to Wisconsin.:p

That is a Mesquite tree. There are two of them in the front yard ... along with about 10 Live Oak trees. More of both sorts of trees in the back by the creek.

There used to be many more ... but we had some killer straight line winds about a month ago and it ripped a lot of the trees right out of the ground or broke them in half.

Rain. Some lightning. But mostly rain.

Why do you have a mirror outside your front door?:eek:

Why do you have a mirror outside your front door?:eek:Its actually very nice to reassure you havent changed into something different while sleeping.
I mean - you went to bed as a small not-hedgehog and you awake as a full grown squirrel. Could you imagine how awkward it could get if you didnt realize that?

it takes on to know one, welcome to the club

I saw the air.

We are under an ORANGE ozone alert again today. Remember the heat and rain I've been complaining about? So, last week, the annual drought began and now the air is dirty orange colored. We have the same setup as Los Angeles - a big valley with no breezes. Not even a tiny puff. It only takes a few days in summer without rain to be able to see the air, even though there is not any oxygen left in it. Husband let me out at the door after lunch, and in the 15 steps it took to get inside, I was wheezing from lack of oxygen.

Nothing is ever normal in B'ham.

do you still need a passport and visa to get to b'ham?

is the funky dude with the leather apron and blacksmith tools still on the statue in the city?

are country and western still 2 distinct types of music?

are old blues brothers jokes allowed?

Well, Birmignham is rather normal for Birmingham this time of year.

box it and ship it to california to sell to those in la-la-land who want to revive the good old days of la smog, make a fortune

do you still need a passport and visa to get to b'ham? No, because nobody has ever actually wanted to visit.

is the funky dude with the leather apron and blacksmith tools still on the statue in the city? Yep, still up there, naked as the day God made him.

are country and western still 2 distinct types of music? Hey, watch it bud! We are also the (artistic) home of Hootie & the Blowfish, Cap't & Tennille, and a bunch of American Idols. Jealous yet?

are old blues brothers jokes allowed? Sure, gimme one!

Oranges are healthy in juice, not in air....

You sure? They contain vitamines, and those cant be good for you!

You're right! I grew up in the 70's.... this body is made of environmental chemicals and artificial sweeteners. Thanks for the warning!

The air is not orange here, however, it is superheated, so it hurts to breathe. We've had close to a month of 100 degree heat, no rain. We missed out on having a Spring this year. It just seemed to pass from cold and brown to hot and brown.

I suppose I should just count my blessings ... the air may be stiffling, but at least it's colorless. ;)

Connecticut. Driving around looking for those steamed burgers, the deer and woodchuck were everywhere. Well, not everywhere, just the wheres where my car would be when it and they were both where, there.

I hit (and killed) a deer about two years ago. It ran out in front of my car, and there was simply no time to stop.

I just stood there for what seemed like forever, just crying over that deer. I know there wasn't anything I could have done, but it tore my heart out to see that beautiful animal die.

Oh, and yes, most of the front of the car was mashed up ... but again, that's just "stuff." Stuff gets damaged, you fix the stuff. Can't "fix" a dead deer. :(

I know this is crass, but I also know we're twins, so you'll see the humor in How to Fix a Dead Deer (http://internationalhunters.homestead.com/VenisonRecipes.html).

Eeeep!! I'm almost afraid to go look at it. But .... I will, and I will look at it knowing the spirit in which I am intended to go. I will try to laugh. If I break down completely ... then I will hunt you down ... and do you grave damage!!

Do you hear me??? GRAVE DAMAGE!!

Eeeep!! I'm almost afraid to go look at it. But .... I will, (...)

i won't...

Tee hee.

Actually, you know what is really sad ... in a "what a waste" sort of way?? It is illegal to actually DO anything with the deer once you have obliterated it with your automobile. So, in Texas anyway, you really can't "fix" a dead deer you hit with a car.

Of course, there was this one guy (I think it was here in Texas) who was arrested for having sex with a dead deer. No, I'm not kidding. Sometimes I think moving to Texas was some sort of karmic joke I decided to play on myself. Eeeehoooolaaaaa.

i won't...

'sokay, Zeep. It really wasn't anything more than a venison cookbook. :o

Actually glad that I don't have to hunt Taylor down and be mean to him. I rather like him the way he is. :)

i know... actually my overwhelming, too strong for my own good, "resistance is useless" curiosity got the better of my judgement, so i went to see for myself.

i'm a bit relieved as well, because if it had been anything else i would have had to be very disappointed in Planet Head, and that would just be a shame.

Yup.... a shame.

However, luckily for us ... he's one of the good ones.

well i do choose my consorts carefully after all.

You know .... it's sort of strange trying to find people's posts when so many of us are George Carlin ... however, I'm going to wait till tomorrow to change my avatar.

heh... you should go look at the skwerl's page. look at his friends. it's like some kind of strange film. :rolleyes:

Or, a strange firm. The Law Firm of Carlin, Carlin, Carlin & Carlin.

"Being George Carlin"

"Being George Carlin"

Oh yes .... especially the scene where he goes into his own head and everybody is .... HIM!!

"Malkovich?"

"Malkovich!!"

Late to the party again ..... and EVERYBODY else is dressed as George Carlin. I knew I would be overdressed. Sigh. (even with so little on)

At our rented cabin in West Virginia, Appalachian Mountains -- we had deer casually walking across the lawn. They'd look up, hopeful for a handout, when I came out the door. Run? No, not them. Just stare me down with those beautiful Bambi eyes. Begging me for food which was illegal to give them. Sigh. Guess I'll just return to the party here. See if pshrynk is finally elected for his 3rd term.

Hey badgooddeb, love your new avatar. Yeah I like George Carlin as a comedian but he's not nearly so interesting as an avatar.;)
