Albino deer

Yesterday my wife had gone out with the girls and when she came home it was family time. We have been exploring some trails down at the local college and are loving it. The first time there we went down a side trail and went into an area that was more than likely off limits to us. We came upon some pigs. Yes pigs! We stopped and watched them eat a bit more and then wandered around the off limits area some more. We walked back and took some old corn that was withering away on the stalk. Wer carried them over to the pigs and fed them. My son was loving it. They were in this huge field surrounded by an electric fence. I wanted to test it out and put my hand on it and was disappointed at the shock that i recieved. It was no worse than a super duty charge from rubbing your socks on the carpet in winter. I tried to have my wife touch it but she didn't believe me in the fact that it wasn;t bad at all. As the pigs finished the corn we were getting ready to leave my wife bent over and touched the fence. She was surprised at how little of a shock she recieved. We are fucking goofy!

Then yesterday, we had wanted to try out this other loop. We parked our car and walked the 1/2 mile to the begining of the trail. As we walked down the road to the trail head I looked in the woods and had seen something white. I had asked my wife if it was an animal and we both looked at it and sure enough up pops this:
This is of course not the actual thing I saw but close enough. It was snow white and just lying in the leaves under a tree. I kind of looked at us and then took off in the woods. I have seen only 1 other albino deer in my life and that was in the back of a truck of a hunter. My wife calls me 'eagle eye' as I seem to always spot things in the woods. I am often the first to spot animals that are hard to see. I credit this "gift" to my day spent wandering the woods as a youngster and coming upon many animals.

For example, in the summer of 2004 I had gone on a camping trip in Shenandoah with some buddies. One of the guys was a novice to any kind of camping whatsoever. He didn;t like the fact that we would be spending the night out in the "backcountry". Anyway we had been hiking for almost 7 hours and we were all hot and tired and naturally pissed off. The third member of this group threw his pack on the ground and siad that we were, "taking a break now!". I had taken my pack off and grabbed some trail mix and sat on a rock next to the stream. The novice was talking smack about not seeing bears. At that very second I looked up and saw a black bear walking in the woods about 50 yards from us. I popped up and pointed at the bear. The novice was scared and me and the other guy were enjoying the view. I made a noise and the bear looked at us. The novice shoved me wondering what I was doing.

That was just an example of "Eagle Eye Cackmandu". Thought I would share the crazy story of an albino deer.
