I'll never forget one day about 10 years ago...driving to work on a sunny Spring morning. I was just a few blocks from my building and traffic was at a complete halt, beginning just 2 cars in front of me. I was close enough to see that a family of C. geese...I'd say about 10 of them, were just crossing the street, all in a perfectly formed line, taking all the time in the world! And no self respecting driver was about to mow them down in order to make it to work on time.

Still amazes me all these years later how those creatures just stopped everything...however it was kind've a cute thing to watch!!

As for deer, I have a feeling that if people would stop developing real estate so close to where they habitate and have been for so many years...they wouldn't be posing a problem. Feeding of animals like deer or bears is an extremely bad thing...as it gets them used to humans and causes them to come back for more, as opposed to surviving in the wild. That 'deer lady' in NY had to be disciplined in some way.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
