Saturday Open Thread - 11/29/25: Odds and Ends
Good morning, good people!
The official holiday was Thursday, the unofficial corporate enticement for the plebes to spend holiday was Friday, so today is post-holiday rest and relaxation for two consecutive days. Enjoy, friends!
And now, I speak of deer. They were here daily, then every few days, then gone for almost 2 weeks, but a few days ago, a buck ran across the pasture, sort of gimpy in his gait, then disappeared into the woods. Days of no deer guys, then Friday just at sunset, a doe comes to eat, hanging around, grazing, beautiful. I just never know about the deer guys.
What must they be thinking?
And, clothing.
Since WHEN did government care about how we dress on an airplane? And since WHEN did dressing up improve behavior? Because we don't won't our nicey nice clothes stained in an airport tussle?
Is this a set yourself apart from the rabble rouser poor who go grocery shopping in pajamas EVERY DAY who are polite as can be?
And did the family in lounge wear at Walmart attack anyone, or was it the person riding in economy for 11 hours offered a package of crackers and water, and asked to pay for a pillow and blanket?
Well, this is an open thread, friends, limited only by your imagination. Lots of interesting news happening the world over, and one way to keep up with it all is to share it here with your friends in the community.
Let 'er rip!

Good morning, friends!
Most Thanksgiving holidays for the last 20 years, I have been somewhere adventuring. This time, my adventure is learning, like learning about current events, learning about ways to make my friends and loved ones happy. The first is just reading or listening, while the second is by experimentation. So far, the experimentation should include delicious food for positive results, then take it in various directions.
Your turn, friends!

Hey, good morning
.
Just saw a deer galloping past the window outside.
We have 4 or 5 that frequent the yard back by the woods.
Fun to watch them graze. The other day a squirrel surprised
me by jumping onto the screen and stared inside. Crazy critters.
Enjoy your R & R and thanks for the OT!

Good morning, Cap'n!
I think deer remind us of how wonderful it is to live in the countryside. It has been 40 years since I lived in the Houston area, listening to sirens every couple of minutes 24/7, few or no birds, no howling coyotes...Like deer, I love pastures, not lawns. The birds are back, the squirrels are tucked away with acorns and pecans to get them through the winter...it's just all good, ain't it?
Dad farmed acres of corn for us, the cattle, and instead of high fencing, he just planted extra rows for the deer.
Enjoy your weekend, my friend!

Good morning...
It was a chilly 28F this AM. About five deer were browsing near the garden when I left for Trade Day.
I bought a pair of rechargeable hand warmers a while back, and they sure make being out in the cold more comfortable.
Yesterday I finally got the leaves on the roof and yard blown into the woods. Nice to have the green yard back.
Rain is due tonight and tomorrow, and off and on next week. It's okay, we need it.
Hope everyone has a great weekend. Thanks for the OT!

Dusting of snow
last night, 10degF this AM.
First snow of the year, finally. Guess I’m gonna haveta start wearing socks again. Sigh…
Time to roll over and go back to sleep, until the sun is high and warm.
