:lol: At least it wasn't a bear!

Right now.. too awake to sleep, too tired to do anything. I have a feeling the boy will be waking a few times tonight...

Eating an apple from a bag of Galas we bought in May, I think, and it's as good now as then. Scary.

at my lake house in sussex im super carefull about bears but the deer in union country in nj is getting pretty crazy. the few hunts the have dont really help because the deer population has moved from the wooded areas to the backyards. i actually think its kinda cool having deer around but dear bring other predatory animals and there are a lot of cats and dogs. the family pet comes before the deer. its a strange battle being waged.

Crazy. We live in a city of 35000 in a downtownish area (houses on 1/4 acre lots) and a few years back, a bear was sighted at my friend's house only 2 streets away. Apparently, deer have run down our street, too. All this nature in suburbia definitely brings challenges. My daughter had a deer tick on her yesterday, presumably from our dog (whose outdoor time is limited to on the tie out in our yard).

Then again, that's what happens when you take away wildlife habitat for new construction...

Ugh...just work up from my power nap. Got to head into work.

 

[RootDKJ]

it is interesting the differences between java and c. your preff is a new gen programer. most people writing j dont think in term of being efficient or anything else for that matter. its one of the reasons J is such a processor pig.
.

I was always tought that your 'main' shouldn't really "do" anything except call on other functions (or methods). So I've been adding a bunch of additional code to our labs, which my professor doesn't like! Oh well, at least I know better and by teaching our future code writers this way, we'll be keeping the processor designers busy.

WRONG! That is not why the wildlife has been expanding into urban areas. It is true when you move into wilderness areas. Wild animals are expanding their territories because there has been no controlling pressures i.e. lack of hunting for food, land not used for farming, lack of natural controls (preditors) etc. that has allowed populations to expand. Connecticut, as an example, was almost completely clear cut and farmed and hunted until the middle of the last century. We could use wwII as a defining date for convenience.

Don't mean to flame you personally, but this is just one example of popular media myths that have become excepted as truths by an ignorent population.

Deer ticks are just one of the hazards to humans trying to co-exist with wild life. If there was one tick, there's more. Chidren are very succeptible to picking them up as they crawl around in the yard and have more delicate skin. If she's outside check her carefully every day. Check your self too.

So if I build a house and garage with a driveway that used to be woods... where do the deer that lived there now go? Do they just vanish?

 

[RootDKJ]

I just got home from work a little while ago and I've had a little too much caffeine, so I'm going to catch up on some posts missed while at school and sleeping tonight, get some breakfast, shoot my boss an email on how the maintenance work went and take another nap.

Up and in a reflective mood thinking of my family members who served and made the ultimate sacrifice that we may enjoy our freedom .

Also praying this am for a young man i once coached that is an Army Lt Col who left his young family to answer the call making his second tour in Afghanistan .

Laundry. And I hate it. Softshells in the washer, load in the dryer, and 3 loads waiting to be folded. Then the pile of dishes needs to be conquered.

All I want for Christmas is a maid!

Cleaning house. I know I must be sick, have Veterans Day off and what do I do is clean house. No, I don't mind, it's easier when hubby's not home and under foot..... Plus it frees up the weekend to do other stuff.
