I have spent a lot of time today debating the great issues of the day- and for my trouble I was called a liberal, skinhead, jew-hating, ignorant bigot by a guy who I was agreeing with on about 80% of the things being discussed! And I have been shaking my head at the bullets that flew at College Station today. A FB friend put it this way when he bowed out today- its all a bunch of "mental masturbation" in which everyone gets hurt. So I'm just going to show you some pictures that will bring smiles and not debates.

| Sunday, Mr. Woodpecker made a return visit. |
 |
| I got Laurie to come for a walk with us that afternoon. Of course, you almost can't get through the woods these days without running into deer. |
 |
| This one- the younger doe, not mama- jumped across the back road. Laurie spotted her in the woods. |
When me and Scrappy got up, a Jenny Wren was on the feeder. After we got up there was a different customer.
 |
| Yep, Mr. Chipmunk, just chillin'. |
 |
| We ran into the one fawn just before entering the back road from the south. Scrappy even tried to chase him, for a change. But the rest of the crew were in the tall stuff, as usual. |
 |
| The other day on a blog I follow, a commenter mentioned a "pushme-pullyou" and the blogger said she didn't know what one was. This is a good simulation. |
 |
| I thought this was interesting- black bees with yellow saddlebags! Then came a bug about the size of a bumblebee, but all green like a katydid. It cruised by slowly, like a teeny tiny balloon in the wind. Soon later, I saw this... |

Looked just like a frickin' sponge!

By the way, the conversation (or what passed for one) on FB? The guy ended up saying at the end, "I get defensive about things sometimes. I am forgiving, it just takes time".
My reply? "Apparently." Mark Souder really throws a good party!
