Osprey

I was sitting in the house today and would occasionally hear some high-powered noise outside like jets or helicopters or whatever. You know, military type noises. We live near a little airport but about the only thing that makes a lot of noise are the private jets that fly in for a big UNC football or basketball game. A bit later I heard a loud noise again and this time I ran outside. The noise got louder and suddenly over the house appeared one of those V-22 Ospreys. You know, the half-helicopter half-plane that Boeing has been trying to get to fly for over last 25-30 years. I don't know how much it costs the taxpayers, but I can attest that they eventually figured it out cause I saw one fly over my house. Here's a picture of one I got off the internet.


The one flying over the house had it's propellers aimed straight ahead so I didn't get to see it do the stuff we paid so much for.

Deer

When I came down for lunch today I looked in the back yard and saw not one or two deer coming into the yard to eat the shrubberies, but eight. I ran back upstairs to get the camera and managed to get seven in the picture. Here they are.



I tried to number them on the picture but it's hard to see. There are way too many deer around here and they're starting to behave like gang members. It's time for the deer to die. Death to Bambi!!
