deer season in the adirondacks has begun.

this is the only place i have ever lived where it is a matter of course to drive down the road and see men with rifles hiking along the shoulder of the road.

just imagine it--driving along, dooo deeee dooo...oh, look, a man with a high-powered gun with a scope and such just ambling along toward my car....

and believe me, it is not just ONE man. many many men. it is a very serious time of year here. no hiking for us. anything, even a bright red jogging stroller, looks like a deer 'round these parts...
