The deer disturbed a skunk who was gleaning the bird food on the ground. He gave 'em a shot of skunk-scent and came up on our deck for a minute.The Bald Eagles seem to put up with the neighbor's boat by the pond.

Media Watch: Junque TV -- Skating with Celebrities AKA "Battle of the Blondes," followed the Olympics broadcasts. Nobody was going to watch rank amateurism while the real thing was going on anyway. Kristy Swanson and Lloyd Eisler work very well with each other. I think Swanson is a "follower." Jillian Barbarie is an aggressive "leader" type and I think her ambition led to being knocked about, and perhaps knocked down to second in this competition. There's ONE more show, though!
Better TV -- Those Olympic Closing Ceremonies were EXCELLENT! There were some silly moments, like the walking mountains, but those acrobats in the air column were something I'd never seen before.
