Deer dreams

Tom and I went to Madison today to get a dining room chair to replace one that was broken. (Don't ask, but it was Peter.) We couldn't believe how heavy the northbound traffic was. And even more striking, out of a randomly-selected group of 20 vehicles, 3 were cars -- all the others were SUVs and pickups. As you may have guessed, deer season begins tomorrow. Gun season, that is. Wisconsin also has a bow season and a short season for youth hunters as well.

A friend of Tom's hunts at one end of Tom's property, and neighbors on the other side hunt on their own property. So it is not the season to go go for a walk in the woods with your fur coat and antlers on.
