I was tired last night and it absolutely poured, so I basically just sat in bed and played on my laptop before retiring early to bed. It’s good we finally got a good soaking rain as things started to get dried up.

Somebody left a dead doe or buck they towed out of the woods with baling twine along Elm Avenue. It might have been poached as its head was missing, though this time of year it wouldn’t have antlers and seemed pretty small to have sizable antlers. The hair was mostly gone and had been rotting for a while. It certainly stunk. Oh well.
