Abandoned Bicycle, J. Peterman Style



The relentless Sumatran sun blazed mercilessly in the cloudless sky, the shade of the fig trees the only reprieve for stray dogs, too hot to even raise their heads at my presence. I abandoned my bicycle under a tree and wiped the sweat from the back of my neck. The sun was searing, but I had my Javan Trilby to protect me – medium width brim, gently contoured at the top for easy tipping. Made of unbleached, fair trade coconut fibre, sourced from the Balinese palm farmers. Perfect for unwinding with cocktails on the terrace or exciting adventures through the rainforest on the back of an elephant. Sizes 6-8.

Yeah, I got Seinfeld Season 7 for Christmas…

Meaningless Update

I'm getting kind of sick of seeing that tangled up deer every time I go to this page.

You, too?

So I've updated my blog so you can see Romanian children instead.

Tangled Up in... Purple

There was an article this Friday in the Globe and Mail about deer encroaching on our habitat to look for food and potential mates. It also looked at the different ways humans are looking at to control the exploding deer population (including contraception, which involves catching, injecting and tagging unsuspecting does). I'm too tired and disheartened to explore the obvious option of containing our never-ending expansion and living in harmony with nature.

Any guesses as to this poor buck's antler entanglement?
