Hmmm... I have a couple of good goat/worm stories, but in keeping with the impending holiday season, perhaps t'would be better to leave those for another time... ahem. But yes, Christmas is definitely just around the corner. As of yesterday morning, festive carols have been blaring over the P.A. system at the local Christmas tree farm situated ja stone's throw away from my forest. (You do remember the Christmas Tree Farm?? -- scene of the infamous "Chariots of Fire Great Goat Escape" several years back). Where was I?? Oh yes... My young Collie continues the tradition of racing to the middle of the backyard to bark defiantly at the towering pines along one side of our yard -- no doubt thinking that she'll drive the irritating choir away into the depths of the forest. Just now, I stopped my outdoor chores to listen and scratch my head as I consider today's choice of carols. That sentimental favourite, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer whines and drones over the loudspeaker, reminding me that the four White-tailed Deer that range in my forest have been reduced to one small, lone buck by some dastardly trespasser who ripped an ATV trail through the back forty to set up a deer stand on my land a couple of weeks ago. The telltale tracks lead back towards the Christmas tree farm.... hmmm.... is it any surprise that I stand here raising my eyebrow in a Grinch-ly way as I contemplate the irony. Deck the Halls and all that jazz... Fa-la-la-la-la La-la-la-laaaaaahhh Merry Christmas Rambi-ites,... each and every one. (o: croc
