notice posted by the sebastian county sheriff’s office as a reminder to drivers (and deer):

We have received a few reports that some deer, for whatever reason, are not using the designated deer crossing areas along our county roads and state highways.  If any deer follow our page, please know that we put these signs up at some expense to the taxpayers.  We’d appreciate you crossing at the designated areas.  To our motoring community, please watch for these deer that are blatantly disobeying the law.

“a small deer came into my camp and stole my bag of pickles. is there a way i can get reimbursed? please call.”

snacks.

one of the bonuses of being a kindy teacher

is that i always have a snack at the ready

should anything happen along my way home.

 

the road to enlightenment is long and difficult, 

and you should try not to forget snacks and magazines.
