i watched him getting up on his front feet as i drove away. went back later after getting coverage for office and he was gone. last night my neighbor invites me down for a couple twisted teas. kind of a Thursday thing but he seemed particularly eager yesterday.

it was because he was gonna do his Paul Harvey impression and give me the rest of the story. it involved multiple cop cars and two big guys loading what was described as a monster buck into a white pickup.

so now i get to carry the shame that only someone with redneck friends can have of hitting a deer and not either loading it up myself or calling friends to get it. hoping it was a county or state truck and the deer will feed people in need. wouldn't mind the antlers to have knives made i guess. but then by that reasoning the bmw owner should have my thumb or something hanging from a necklace.

ready to get this week over with. it's not all bad. the older members of my family would say God has provided already since we picked up about $7-8k in annual tax work over the past couple months.

but it does, for me, highlight how fragile one's comfort zone can be. one minute you're proud of piloting massive vehicles around and parking them with masterful skill and the next you're being asked how the hell anyone can back into a car like that.
