There is an update about the IONS connection. I am not connected to the humans there, but the wildlife and native spirits that roam the campus there, and in particular, the deer. Makes ¢'s I suppose since I have a ¥ for that stuff.

Anyways, I'll be there in spirit for the Qijong Workshop whether they like it or not . I'm gonna Du it! <groan lulz>

To this end of Serious Deer issues, and since they cannot communicate with everyone, they have requested I crash the Society of Automotive Engineers to force them to make Deer Whistles mandatory on all vehicles to stop the mutual highway carnage.  Deer, while being fully able to digest Some poisons lethal to Humans, have limited peripheral vision and cannot hear all approaching highway vehicles or Psi Connect with all occupants to forewarn them of their impending presence. As for the moron poacher who tried to shoot one here way out of season last week, perhaps a full Fish and Wildlife investigation will brighten up their life and foster the Long Term Romantic relations they must crave so much in the cozy and highly intimate surroundings of Jail. Or maybe they would prefer to explain it to Little Jack, my pet yearling Bear, why they were shooting his best friend.

Have you ever considered the plight of these poor things? Their view of us must be that we are completely barbaric. We murder their friends and families in cold blood, and in a lot of cases, eat them. We are mortified by terrorists decapitating people, but... For raiding the garden? Or nibblin' the shrubbery? An' don't get them started on Open Season! How would you feel if it were Open Season on your kids? Or your Parents? OK, maybe not a good analogy if they've been in your basement for a few years... lulz   "They carry diseases... an' Ticks!" Et Tu, Boot-azz? We brought them in from outer space! Anyways, put yourself in their Hooves for a few miles and you get the picture. It doesn't paint a rosey picture of the general empathy of our species. Sure we have the whole opposing thumbs an' vocal cords thing sorted out, and we have BiC lighters/lawnmowers. We get the irony: "Nothing RUNS like a Deere!" Actually Jack does, caribou, elk, moose, cougars, an' a whole bunch o' things, but that's another story. I digress.

You are probably looking at Mother Nature's Jacket in the picture here. It is fake. Actually told her a bedtime story about back in the day when I was a young surveyor, out shootin' at some food, I missed, an' up from the ground came a bubblin' crude... from whence came a Nauga, leading to a hard fought battle to its Death, and which I skinned to make fake jackets an' hip huggah's for lil' girls everywhere. <3. She said I need a lil' more fibre in my diet or something like that, but then she said Californy is the place I oughta be, 'cus widda 'magination like that they would surely be Mah B... Yatch that is... Swimmin' Pools... Movie Stars... lulz
