Headless Deer

I'm trying something different. It seems that all I do is write where I am and where I'm going every day. I'm going to do that as the day goes on with twitter. You can find that on the right side bar. Once in a while I will sum it up with a main blog post. I want to use the main section to write about things I see or think about during the day and to post pictures when I get good ones.



I don't know if any of you other drivers are seeing this but I have noticed it and a friend of mine has too. There are a lot of headless deer in the road. Everyone has heard jokes about people eating road kill and there is certainly plenty of it but apparently a lot of people stop and take the heads off of bucks when they are hit and lying on the side of the road. I know that buck horn is uses in a lot of crafts but is it that valuable? It just seems strange to me.

It seems that global warming is back on again. When I fueled in Austinburg OH today it was 83 degrees. That's right up by lake Erie and it's October  November14.

When I got 10 new tires a month ago, my fuel mileage went down to around 6 mpg or less for a while. Now that they are worn in I am getting 7.2 mpg, according to the Qualcomm. My over idle is at 1.53 %. That should make Millis happy. I think I'll monitor the miles driven and gallons purchased over the next few days and get the true mpg 's.

That's it for tonight. I want to play with my tech toys a while and eat the other half of that Subway I got at lunch.

  1. Bob, I thought it was just me seeing all these headless deer! I'm serious... everywhere we go there are headless deer on side of the road. I'm like you... are people really getting that desperate? Scarey thought but yes, I'm being serious when I say... there are a lot of dead headless deer on the shoulders! Beats me???

  2. Global warming must be more insidious than I thought if it is really October where you are!

  4. Many headless deer are from people who actually want to nail the antlers to their barn and claim conquests, or at the deer camp. In many states, it is actually illegal, and a heafty fine if caught doing this.

  5. I think in some cases the Department of Natural Resources is removing the heads to test for Chronic Wasting Disease.
