Things you rather be doing...

Not having a macabre fascination with the (by my count) 7 buzzards I see perched on various trees in the backyard area. I am staying at an AIRB&B in town that has a vast backyard. It's been fun watching the deer family of 6 walking through and resting here during the day.

Then we saw one of the deer had a broken leg. Over time, it became weaker and weaker. One day about 2 weeks ago, it simply laid down. We thought it died then. But a few hours later it hopped up and scampered off. Then, we "found it" in the remains of the swimming pool. The AB&B owner had dug out the pool a while back, but the pool hole remains. The deer fell in (apparently) and died there. We didn't know since it was not seen from our location until we went upstairs and looked out a bedroom window that overlooked the pool.

Buzzards had been circling - which caught our attention. Now, they have landed near it and are waiting patiently in trees. Lots of them.

I'd rather not be having such a visual reminder of "the circle of life."
 
I'd rather be screwing....in a new light bulb.....that great one that is guaranteed to last ten years didn't make it four....now where's that receipt!
 
How many real men does it take to change a light bulb? None, real men aren't afraid of the dark.
And for all the dog lovers (this should cheer @cheekygirl75 up)

How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?

  • Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?
  • Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.
  • Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!
  • Rottweiler: Make me.
  • Lab: Oh, me, me!!!! Pleeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I?
  • German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.
  • Malamute: Let the Border Collie do it. You can feed me while he's busy.
  • Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.
  • Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.
  • Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.
  • Doberman Pinscher: While it's dark, I'm going to sleep on the couch.
  • Maltese: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.
  • Mastiff: Mastiffs are not afraid of the dark.
  • Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.
  • Irish Wolfhound: Can somebody else do it? I've got this hangover.
  • Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there....
  • Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?
  • Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle....
  • Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb?
  • Hound Dog: ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz.z.z.z..z..z..z...z
  • Cat: Cats do not change light bulbs.
