Had an Axis deer show up with the goats one day. Thought of taking it, but just watched. Stayed all day. Hoped it would stay. Was gone next day, never saw it again.

My wife and I lived for a few years in the middle of the woods in Cook Springs, AL. It was quite honestly like an extended episode of Green Acres. Our nearest neighbors were about half a mile away and had a donkey that constantly got loose and mosied up and down our road. One night I get a picture of the donkey on a game camera tearing into some corn I put out for deer. It must have been really good corn because the donkey was sporting a huge erection while he ate.

Then there were the sovereign citizens that lived down the road and always kept life interesting, and then there was the summer when an escaped emu kept poking around the woods near our house.

Like Green Acres, I did not have one experience with the utilities, water, trash, internet, etc. that didn't border on the Sam Drucker/Mr. Haney/ Hank Kimbell level of absurd surrealism.
