I have not yet been to see the new Harry Potter movie. This is because I am lame and because I avoid malls during the holiday shopping season. However, I read a delightful user summary of the new Harry Potter movie here. I can only hope that the actual movie is as much fun.

In other news, today I've been listening to the soothing sounds of gunfire since daybreak because Pennsylvania's deer season cranks up bright and early tomorrow morning and all the summer people are out shooting off their firearms in gleeful anticipation of that frabjous day. *sigh* I wish to hell they'd shoot does. But nooo, they can't possibly shoot does because it's unmanly and if they shoot does, there will be NO MORE DEER. Er. Not hardly. The summer people persist in thinking that there are not enough deer. I've got a seven-foot chickenwire fence around my yard says different. Down on Oregon Road and up on the mountain back of my house in state forest land, the state has erected Deer Exclusion Fencing so that the damned forest can regenerate. Inside the fences, there are baby trees. Outside the fences there are not baby trees except for striped maple which the deer will not eat. D'ya think that perhaps deer exclusion fences could maybe indicate that there are too many fucking deer? I mean, if the number of damn deer in the woods is so high and the browse pressure so intense that the DAMN TREES CANNOT GROW BACK, isn't that a sign that something's wrong?

Maybe I'm just stupid.

Incidentally, the Viet Cong called this tactic "hugging the belt-buckle", although they used it to avoid getting vaporized at a distance by American artillery and air-strikes.
