I hope you all had a great halloween weekend. I was really sick and Topaz and I spent most of the weekend like this.
I got to watch Aidan's soccer for a bit, which was great, but it's cooolllllddd when you're standing there not moving.
So...a new employee came into the office the other day and I asked how he was liking victoria (he'd just moved from alberta) and he said that it was great but he was upset because he'd hit a deer the day before-- apparently he got out of the car and called the RCMP and sat down beside the deer--- the poor deer was pretty badly injured, but he lifted up his head, looked Jake in the eye and lay his head in his lap...that's how the RCMP officer found them-- he said he'd never seen anything like it before-- usually if they're alive enough to move they don't stick around. But we do work hard to hire friendly, approachable people, so I guess bambi felt comfortable with him. Unfortunately, the RCMP guy had to shoot him later, but I thought it was a nice story.
On an unrelated note, there was an amazing sunrise this morning- I caught it though a willow tree. Also unrelated, that's great about Obama, eh? It will be interesting to see what the next few years hold- I think the world is ready for a
change. Okay time for bed, tonight's swim workout wore me out. xoxo C

I think all of us see the things around us in a different light when we know we're at the end. The deer, I'm sure, knew there was nothing to worry about any more.
I recall I had to shoot a pet rabbit that had gotten lose from one of the neighbors kids and it was eating out all the neighbors flower beds and gardens. It was under a deck and we tried one last time to catch it but it would not come near us. I put a 22 though its chest and it only took about 15 seconds to go but in that time it looked at me with the big brown eyes and started walking toward me. It laid down and died about a foot away from me. Talk about feeling bad.
and the worse part of it all it was too small to eat ;) (had to end this on a tough guy note)
Cheers.
