Animal Sad

I really hate the loss of life. I don’t kill life myself, as much as can be avoided. I have never killed a human, I have never hunted an animal other than shooting a few birds with my .22 when I was a kid, and a woodpecker that Steph coerced me to shoot a few years back, and lately it’s difficult for me to kill an insect.

I heard a deputy dispatch a deer tonight that had been hit by a car, on my scanner. He calls it in as a shot fired, and often his buddies come out to harvest the meat. Nothing wrong with this, just sad…

When I drive to work in our low-light twilight mornings I move at 35mph in a 45mph zone. I’ve managed to dodge a lot of pretty deer as they fly across Ski Hill road in front of me, only hitting my mirrors once.
