So... we had three deer in the back field today around lunch time. One of them was looking somewhat furtively towards the woods. Next time I looked out, there was a bobcat just kind of standing there in the field. Cat & deer both looked somewhat nonplussed.
I, of course, went to grab the camera (light was poor; it's been an unsettled day, weather-wise).
By the time I got back, kitty had moved a bit to the right and the deer had dispersed. Kitty was ambling towards the west.
Apparently, he's sensitive to paparazzi.
Very sensitive...
Yup. Def. sensitive.

They're pretty common here, although it has been a couple of years - until today - that I've seen one in our yard.
We've seen a mom (I presume) and little ones (kittens? boblings?) a couple of times during the summers over the years here. Adorbsable. No photos, unfortunately.
I emailed our neighbors to see if this one (or others) turn up on their gamecam.
Our own gamecam got attacked a few years back by a woodpecker
and I haven't replaced it to date.

Those damn peckers can wreak havoc.

It attacked the little translucent diffusing screen in front of (I presume) the IR sensor. Mangled it. I've thought about trying some transparent tape or something across it, as a half-a##ed attempt to weather-proof it... but:
- Even I have my limits vis-a-vis ghetto/MacGyver approaches.
- Not sure that the sensitivity (or selectivity) would be trashed
- Not sure that the bandwidth of a random piece of transparent or translucent adhesive tape would be appropriate for IR transmittance.
- Even I have my limits vis-a-vis ghetto/MacGyver approaches.

We stayed in Jackson NH just south of Mt. Washington for several days about a month ago. I would take out our daily trash to the dumpster early in the morning until this one morning I see trash scattered across the entire back parking lot. It seems a bear had gotten into the dumpster overnight and made a huge mess. That morning was the end of me being a nice guy and my bringing my trash out to the dumpster.

That thing had a slant 6? OMG
Maybe that's where the "money saving" part came in. So long as you aren't in a hurry, I guess that's alright....

Fricking bearsies, unfortunately, can be a nuisance. It's rarely their fault (and we're guilty as charged, as bird feeders - as y'all know).

I told the owner of the place that a bear had gotten in his dumpster and he assured me that it was a raccoon and not a bear as they're in hibernation this time of the year. Once he saw the amount of damage though he admitted yes it sure was a bear. Albeit a confused bear that doesn't know he or she is supposed to sleeping. -

They're close to being dormant, but it's very borderline. Mid-December is considered the "safe" date, at least up here in the Upper Valley.
We're still bringing feeders in at night for a little while.

It snowed last night...
8:00 am: I made a snowman.
8:10 - A feminist passed by and asked me why I didn't make a snow woman.
8:15 - So, I made a snow woman.
8:17 - My feminist neighbor complained about the snow woman's voluptuous chest saying it objectified snow women everywhere.
8:20 - The **** couple living nearby threw a hissy fit and moaned it could have been two snow men instead.
8:22 - The transgender man..women...person asked why I didn't just make one snow person with detachable parts.
8:25 - The vegans at the end of the lane complained about the carrot nose, as veggies are food and not to decorate snow figures with.
8:28 - I was being called a racist because the snow couple is white.
8:31 - The middle eastern gent across the road demanded the snow woman be covered up .
8:40 - The Police arrived saying someone had been offended.
8:42 - The feminist neighbor complained again that the broomstick of the snow woman needed to be removed because it depicted women in a domestic role.
8:43 - The council equality officer arrived and threatened me with eviction.
8:45 - TV news crew from MSNBC showed up. I was asked if I know the difference between snowmen and snow-women? I replied "Snowballs" and am now called a sexist.
9:00 - I was on the News as a suspected terrorist, racist, homophobe sensibility offender, bent on stirring up trouble during difficult weather.
9:10 - I was asked if I have any accomplices. My children were taken by social services.
9:29 - Far left protesters offended by everything marched down the street demanding for me to be arrested.
By noon it all melted
Moral:
There is no moral to this story. It is what we have become, all because of snowflakes.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Last Saturday afternoon, our daughter & her two kids came over to bake cookies with mom/nana. Later that afternoon (about as late as we could push it, given the short hours of daylight this time of year!), we 'hiked' (it's mostly a walk, with a bit of a scramble at the end) to a granite ledge fairly high above our little hamlet. It was a nice afternoon to be up there. On our way back down, we passed several folks going up - I assume - for sunset.

Looking kinda, sorta towards our house (not visible from the ledges)

I am embarrassed to say that I only learned of the... interoperability of Stanton & Pickering in the modern era; I had no idea back in the day. -
