Deer have ticks ... don't talk about it or you could come down with Margaritas ... and the beaches will extend!

Never-ever land with Eves and other shadows ... clouding your logic ... God knew someone needed a break thus voids in whatever ... flaws in reality do create implications ...

Does time have respect for Niesche? It is nice she can visit from time to time as the three essences of Christmas ... in excess I've forgotten in a demented state ...

Fluffy white clouds of kitties ... Himalayans! Had one that rested in a coffee can for a good part of a winter ... there's a story there too ...

Not to be told to those not wishing to know much about cats of that airea ... thus co dead! Stalking critters ...

It's me again Margaret ... from where you loched me up ... dark pool! Prime ministered ...

The deer here are pretty tame - you can walk right up to them...or drive, if they are blocking the street.

I might not want to try it with a buck with a fawn or young doe. We’re told the bucks can become aggressive but I don’t recall hearing any stories about aggressive deer here. They know they’re safe from humans in the city. Except while the humans are driving cars - and the traffic is sparse late at night here. Nobody’s allowed to hunt them. Word’s gotten around in the deer community. Life’s pretty good for them in this neck of the woods. There are a lot of wooded areas, even wooded yards, nearby. There’s a small park down the street with some forested space. And lots to eat.

I hit a deer in about 2006 on the Alaska Highway. I don't recommend deer hunting with a small Subaru for the record. The car and I were fine. Well, the car needed repair..... The deer was not fine. Mule deer in that area are very large.

The school grounds are across the highway from me but there is also a lot of wooded lots here in town so they can appear from anywhere.
 
I've hit two deer in my life - in a van both times - and thankfully, the deer were already dead when I ran over them...one time in extreme white-out conditions and the other time it was at the top of the hill and I couldn't see it in the dark.
 
Lots of deer where my parents live. Not unusual to have to get out of the car to shoo them away on residential streets. Never hit one, never had an issue with any being aggressive nor seen that.
 
We too have deer right in town. I have never heard that they cause problems (unless they eat someone's favourite garden plant!) This year people are starting to complain about the coyotes in town. I haven't spotted any yet.

On one of my walks this summer, I tried out a new trail that had been built in parkland near my house. It ran behind some houses then down into Medway Valley, which is the Western boundary of the neighbourhood. At the "gate" (one of those wooden structures to keep people from riding bikes, etc. in) was a warning to be careful around dusk and dawn due to coyote activity. I've heard reports from other parts of London, too. One was even seen regularly on CTV's (CFPL London) property for a time and that's fairly central.
 
Coyotes have been known to venture into the school grounds but not into town as far as I know...there have been rare cougar sightings - or at least their paw prints - off and on through the years...I personally think we're too open (and far from the river where they are known to be) for it to be cougar...bobcat and lynx are becoming more common around here.
 
LAST, as I wait for my alarm to go off telling me to return to church. Took me three hours to get these casseroles together (slicing 8 pounds of cheese, browning 12 lbs of meat, chopping 8 lbs of onions, making a monster sauce, cooking 2 kg of pasta, baking my pre-prepared "tofu crumbles"), then they needed 75 mins baking. Time enough to come home, feed critters, have a beer, think about my own supper.

Beer sounds good ... less intoxicating that church!
 
When I read about some of the feasts my American friends on my writing board are having today, that's nothing. Wow, I don't think my family's Christmas dinners get that elaborate.

Wow, that sounds like quite a cooking spree!

It was, and made quite a number of dishes. Returned to church, discovered Jack & Steve making sandwiches for the Busby Outreach van. Got casseroles out, heavy as hell, then Jack insisted on helping me with dishes. Love doing dishes with people; all there is to do is yack, and work, and you learn so much about your friends. Then I was challenged with refrigerating the three casseroles alongside the seven thawing turkeys awaiting cooking for Sunday's Xmas dinner.
 
Last after a nice dinner out with friends. The university has a nice little restaurant where the culinary students learn. It was a lovely meal and visit.
