 Right  around supper time,  this  young  deer  appeared  near   our  shed.It  twas  in  no  hurry, and gradually  worked its  way  around to the  madonna where  mint is  growing  and  had  a  snack. It  showed no  alarm  when  I  came out on the porch.   It  ignored my  camera flashes.   I  had a good chance but  my  camera skills  have eroded.  this is the  best picture  I  got.

Old   Bob  wakes up  on the fourth  morning of his  latest   stay  at  Rockville Hospital   to  be  greeted  by  the  doctor who  inquires  as to the state  od  Bob's  hnealth.    Bob  responds thusly:  "Doctor,  if  I'm  in  the  hospital  much  longer,  my  wife  will  find out she can  live without  me." 
   Ever see a doctor's  eyes  roll around in his  head  before?    He  left  the  room  chuckling  and  mumbling  to  himself,   probably  wondering  what   the  hell he was supposed to do with  that  disclosure.
