Albino deer
A friend sent this picture of two albino deer with this info:
Don’t know who the people are, but the pics are cool. (There were several pics attached)
Tim made the deer feeder with the ‘Browning’ logo. These twin albinos have been coming to our backyard since they were fawns in 2006. We have been trying to capture a digital pic of them for awhile, but they arrive at dusk or even later and they don’t turn out. On Friday about 10 am they arrived.
It was a beautiful morning and they came for their photo op. I can do dishes and make lots of noise and they aren’t bothered. However, when they hear the patio door open they usually bolt. However, this time I banged a dish and Tim opened the door at the same time and was able to take the pictures.

Pedal car pulled over by the cops
A renegade form of alternative transportation was outlawed in Toronto when the driver of a pedal-powered car was pulled over by local police. (According to the cop, “The safety factor [of the vehicle] is….unsafe.”) The car, which uses muscle power in lieu of a motor, is propelled by four independent pedal and gear systems that are set inside of its metal body.
The alterna-car, a 1986 Buick Regal, was designed by artist Michel de Broin and was being displayed as part of a touring gallery exhibit in Toronto. Broin removed the engine, suspension, transmission and electrical system in the car – all of which the artist calls “superfluous devices,” and replaced these motorized mechanisms with the human-powered pedals and gears.
Food Fight
This is really interesting. Not funny, but interesting. Imagine the time it took to create this.
Food Fight is “an abridged history of American-centric war, from World War II to present day, told through the foods of the countries in conflict”.
It’s a pretty entertaining and “chronologically re-enacted smorgasbord of aggression”, and definitely worth a few minutes of your time, so watch and see if you can identify all of the parties involved.
A real cowboy
An elderly Texas cowhand went to the local drug store and asked the pharmacist for the little blue Viagra pill.
The pharmacist asked ‘How many?’
The cowboy replied, ‘Just a few, maybe a half dozen. I cut each one into four pieces.’
The pharmacist said, ‘That’s too small a dose. That won’t get you through sex.’
The old fellow said, ‘Oh, I’m past e ighty years old, and I don’t even think about sex much anymore. I just want it to stick out far enough so I don’t pee on my new boots.

Dear Abby
Dear Abby,
I am a 60-year-old woman who is married to a man who acts like he hates me. In public, he pretends he loves me and talks about how wonderful I am. But in private, he shakes his finger in my face and calls me the ‘B’ word. He constantly tells me how ugly I am without make-up. I’ve tried everything, including a face-lift, botox treatments, and a chin tuck. I even went on a diet and lost 20 pounds.
He quit his job a few years ago after having an affair with a woman in his office. He hasn’t even looked for another job. We haven’t slept together since I confronted him about the affair. He denied it, of course, but everybody knew it. It was humiliating . I believe he is still messing around.
While we both want to sell this house, we argue constantly about when to put it on the market. The house we want will be available in a few months. My husband wants to put our house on the market now. I think we should wait a while. He has already started collecting boxes and packing up his stuff. Do you think he is planning to leave me?

Dear Worried in NY:
I doubt it. He wants to move back into the White House as much as you do.
Thanks Gene
