Deer. They eat everything. EVERYTHING! Good news is that we have so much forest out by us that the house greenery generally recovers but this winter the deer decimated my fall planters. Bastards.

Bear with me on this one - old weather records. You ever notice old weather records are always super extreme? Like on this date in 1895 it was -40, when all the recent normal weather falls within a regular range of 30-50? I don't believe old weather records anymore, I don't think they A) measured correctly, or B) exaggerated the records for whatever reason.

I'm looking at you old man in a cabin in 1850 who measure 15 inches of rain on one day and then it was 90 degrees followed by snow at midnight before a tornado landed and caused a solar eclipse. BS.

Nice!

A buddy of mine refers to deer hunting as "killing crop damage". They're a pest and a nuisance and should be treated accordingly.

You're dead on about the weather. Country Bob's thermometer he bought at the general store back in 18 ought 9 said it was -40 so that MUST mean it was -40.

What bugs me about that is when they break a record and CLAIM it's the warmest/coldest/wettest/driest in HISTORY!

No, it isn't HISTORY, it's in the last 150 years, BIG difference.
