This Snow is Ridiculous, Until it Saves Me from Deer

Last night, traffic was slowed to a whopping 30 mph on Metcalf near 123rd St. This was, somehow, a good thing, as the unruly mob of deer that pranced passed the front of my car would have most certainly become hood ornaments were I going full speed.

In a transition that is somehow not awkward, the Book of the Day is a new title that just came by my desk called Deer-Resistant Landscaping : Proven advice and strategies for outwitting deer and 20 other pesky mammals. Since the best advice I have is “hire Ted Nugent”, I’m guessing this landscaping business would be a much better technique than anything I have to recommend. Recommended for students looking into landscaping careers, and also to people who hate deer.

In summary: that golf course needs better landscaping, and the snow did something positive for a change. Tiny miracles.
