I had a lady come into the store on Sunday with her husband. The lady's husband says "how do you guys keep the deer from eating all the fruit?" To which I replied "We eat them first." And the lady got all upset. She says "You don't really do you?!?" 
I tell her "Of course we do. And they're tasty too."
The Jamaicans who work on the orchard eat a ton of venison. That's the only red meat they'll eat. They'll go up to Eric and say "Boss. We need a goat." They call deer goats. It's odd because they know they're deer, but they eat a lot of goat in Jamaica so I guess it's a goat now.
It's interesting because all they make is stew. No ribs no backstraps. Just stew.
But never have I ever seen a group of people happier to be working than the Jamaican guys there. They're always smiling and singing.

Venison is super good for you. Low fat, high protein. One of the best red meats you can eat.

Oh how I've loved to learn to hate people like that.

Jim... sorry to hear about that.
Chris... send some of your luck my way, bud. I'm still looking with no leads. Dozens of resumes out and llots of networking going on, but so far ... I'm getting ready to prepare to start hitting my IRA accounts that are set aside for future retirement needs.
Wish I could spend more time catching up oin everything here, but I can;t take the time right now.
Y'all have a good evening.

Sorry to hear about your son Mike. Seems kids usually can't make it but a year or two before they have another broken bone. Just means he is a normal kid is all.
That sucks Jim, but I can't say its a surprise. Like everyone else said, most people get a complex if their employee knows more than they do.
Good luck to those of you out searching for jobs!

And...bambi is standing there unharmed because we live in the city, and that is my elderly neighbor's house you see there directly behind bambi.

Morning all!
Lisa thats a cool picture, I love wildlife in close proximity to my place like that too!
As much as I like eating deer, I also very much enjoy them being around.

Unfortunately when I see deer around the house I think of the foliage destruction and deer ticks (Lyme's Disease), and a month of meat.

Well I do admit, when I see a deer, the closest they are are maybe 50 yards out in the field, and usually they are out farther then that. My dog likes to make sure they stay out of her yard!
