According to Prairie Home Companion, it's deer hunting season, which got me thinking... I hear increasing numbers of reports of wild animals wandering into civilization and clashing with man. Since I often work from home - near a window - I wonder, what if a wild animal, like a deer, DID enter my neighborhood and what if a hunter DID try to catch one of those deer, and what if a hunter's aberrant bullet meant for the deer found me instead?
Luckily, my family sent me and my sister a care package earlier this fall of "things representing Idaho" and in it they included a Hunter's Specialties', www.hunterspec.com/, vinyl vest (among other treasures including an elk caller, crappie jigs (huh?), and potato hand cream). Wearing it makes me feel much safer, and I think that it is also helping me acclimate to this new place I call home: Idaho. OH, and, don't worry family - I'll be easy to spot at the airport this Christmas...I'll be the one in orange.
PS - the problem with the table is that you can't sit at it and put your legs under the table at the same time because of the leaves (regarding below post)!

Did they send you some of those disgusting Idaho Spuds? I couldn't decide if the ones your mother sent us more closely resembled straight high fructose corn syrup or what Megan consistenly leaves in the toilet without flushing. They should have been discontinued sometime in the '70s.
Ba ha ha! I'm the one that picked out the vest. I'm so glad it's getting used appropriately.
