Today's goal is to get to a funeral in downtown Lansing.

My friend's father died. It was not unexpected. His father was 102.4 years-old.

Investing in semi-precious metals

A pretty good price for a good product

An even better price but they might not work for you. 

The word of the day

The word of the day is "eye-ballie". 

Used in a sentence: Bucks use their nose to explore the world. Does are eye-ballie and will bust you in a tree-stand quicker than a buck will.

The iron law of supply-and-demand

It is my perception that women often do not feel "valued" by men. They complain that men treat them as a fungible commodity like nose-tissues (aka Kleenex).

It is also my perception that most of the women making those complaints are in areas that have a gross over-supply of women vis-a-vis men. To be specific: College campuses are now dominated by women. Large cities are magnets for women. Some professions like HR, education, advertising and the social "sciences" are dominated by women.

If you are a woman and do not feel "valued", consider finding pockets within your society where women are not in over-supply. Adapt, improvise, overcome. Leave your comfort bubble. 

Women start looking like this when they are competing with other women.

No man ever looked at this and swooned "OMG! She is gorgeous."



Nope. We are far more likely to say "Do you need your EpiPen or should I call 9-1-1?"

  1. I tend to notice that Does come out first before the Bucks around here.

    Maybe that's a survival thing as you say they are more eye focused?

    But they are looking for unusual things. Thus they tend to ignore that old man drinking coffee on his deck :-)

  2. I used to tease a good friend who hunts hard all season. We had does in the yard, you could just open a window and get a shot. Sometimes bucks too. No sitting in the cold at O-dark-thirty. I also have seen many bucks while out on the 4 wheeler. I stop, and they just stand there looking at me. Easy shot, if you wanted to.

    And yeah, those girls are… not attractive.
