Clickbait

If your experience is anything like mine you've likely got a couple of friends or acquaintances who are particularly aggrieved or otherwise disgruntled.  And they make a daily habit of re-posting memes on their Face Book pages reflecting their grievances over Joe Biden, Muslims, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, the Supreme Court or whatever.  I can think of four individuals in particular for whom it is a near constant effort.  It is a fixation bordering on mania.  Some days I wonder if these people have a life beyond bellyaching on social media.  

Since the beginning of this year I have endeavored to be a better person.  Not a saint, just better.  I don't have very many grievances and a relatively high tolerance for differing opinions.  Speaking if which, I have opinions too; but that's not the same as full-blown grievance.  Sure, I happen to not think very much of Mr. Trump and may post something on that subject once a week or thereabouts; if you think I'm coming-across as manic please let me know.   Other people's feigned Face Book outrage is annoying if you let it get under your skin; so it's better to scroll past.  Best policy for me is to avoid politics and religion on FB and if I have anything to say on the subject to restrict it to the Blog.  Visiting here is purely voluntary and not subject to an algorithm.  Read at your own peril. 

You won't find much cut and paste here as I place a high value on original thought and factual content.  I attempt to keep content on the blog diverse.  Anyway, as a public service and in the interest of spreading positivity on the interweb here are some very recent trail camera photos from our woods.  

This event is a dose of annual joy and always brings a smile to the lips of this old hunter.  If you don't like the appearance of spotted fawns you probably need to seek professional help and have your head examined.....
