This is a test.
This afternoon, I am not making this up, our house took a HUGE lightening strike.
We lost, again I...
I’m not making this up
..two computers, one was my home network server.
...two TV’s.
...our garage door opener
...the ceiling fan in our living room will not turn off.
So I got this portable computer and it’s so old the only browser that will work with it is Opera.
You can’t make this stuff up.....
waste of good meat
...
Yup. damn shame.
True enough. He could’ve done SOMETHING with the venison instead of leaving it to the flies.
We had a good friend killed when a deer went through his windshield. We were on the Trace several years ago and a deer jumped the car which was in front of us. I had never seen a deer jump like that.
That's the only thing I object to here.
I guess the farmer had grown tired of “those cotton pickin deer.”
>> “Our first concern was the brutality of killing those animals,” said Arthur Wolff, who owns property on Bethany Road, a shady street that dead ends into the sprawling cotton farm.
Bet you anything Farmer Ciarloni was there long before this Wolff wuss.
And assume the liability if the deer were diseased? In today's lawyered America, it's unlikely to happen
Oh dear!
The other day a co-worker complained about the hunting of deer in our area. She blamed the deer problems on “sprawl”, but I pointed out that the population of deer in our area is 6000% higher than it was 50 years ago, whereas the human population has only grown by about 15%.
I was thinking that instead of just letting the deer rot, they could be used as food. But after reading about them eating Roundup Ready cotton, I'm not so sure anymore.
I have no idea why we lost the variety of thing we did and who knows what else we’ll find.
I heard this loud boom and all I can tell you, when you hear it you know what it is.
The two tv’s were little things but they were hook to our cable hookup. Two other tv’s are okay. They are hooked to another thing....whatever is used that can be recorded from.
The two computers were hooked to the cable as well. They were both ON. One computer, a major one, was off and it’s working fine.
The garage door opener? I can’t explain this except, hey, where that lightening hit, and I actually saw smoke, was right by the garage. In fact at first I thought our air conditioner took a hit.
The living room fan? It’s crazy. We figured out how to work around it but it’s a pain.
Also breakers blew and some of the individual electrical outlets have little circuit breaker things on them and some of THEN had to be reset.
Monday I’m going to talk to the insurance company but I wonder if they’ll ever believe this.
Never whack more than you can pack ping.
Does and fawns hit hardest....
Is it safe to eat deer that have been eating Roundup Ready cotton?
Gag.
Good for him! Given the number he shot, I'm sure thats why he didn't decide to have them processed and perhaps given to shelters.
Nevertheless, I support this guy wholeheartedly........
We don't have deer in our desert, but the past few years we've obtained citrus-grabbing squirrels......so I go pee at the base of the trees.
It really ticks off wifey and the local patrol cops, but they live with it.
(They're front yard trees, and I haven't quite gotten around to walling the property yet.....)
