Thought Number One: The Other Season that is less HO HO HO and more BANG BANG BANG
It has come to my attention for the umpteenth time that my family members, have not been paying attention to anything I have ever said or done. Why would I think this, you ask? I happened to call my brother a few days ago and he was super excited about the fact that deer hunting season had started. Well…to be perfectly accurate, hunting with a bow has started. The “hunting with a gun” season is yet to start. Poor baby, has another 12 days to wait before he can use bullets. Anyway…as I was saying….I called to see if I could stop by and drop off a “no particular reason other than you are my only sibling” present for him but NOOOOO….DID I FAIL TO MENTION…IT'S BOW HUNTING/KILLING SEASON????
It's not exactly (although pretty darn close) that I am anti-hunting. It's more that I am anti-hearing-about-hunting.
If anyone had noticed…I am the same person that scoops up spiders and takes them outside. Didn't you all read Charlotte's Web? (NOTE: If they are horribly big with black-widow markings, I make exceptions to my “no kill” policy). For the most part though, I try not to kill living things.
Oh, I hear all you hunters out there starting to ramble about over-population, and good forestry practices. Let's all lament about how those hungry deer are eating up the trees and need to be curtailed. Shush! Just Shush!
All of that may be true but when you decide to go after them…please…please…DON'T GIVE ME ANY OF THE DETAILS.
I have my fingers in my ears!!!! Lalalalalalalalla Lalalalalalalalal
I am a veteran of corporate moves. Having moved 21 times while my husband climbed the corporate ladder while dragging me up… rung by rung over the course of our 40+ year marriage. I used to delude myself into thinking
that I was middle-age but now realize that I would have to live to be 116 to justify that term. If wisdom comes with age, I am wiser than some, older than many, and more cynical than most. My blog is to jot down the nonsense I
see, hear and think about while I still have all my faculties working.
