Sure, it was cute when
Bambi slipped all over the ice, but the story usually ends less adorably. Upon finding a deer stuck on the ice, you can
chip away the ice and let it swim free,
winch it off the ice by the leg, or even
blow it off the ice with a helicopter, but it probably won't matter—
the deer will die anyway, and
you'll just end up getting in trouble. Just this week,
eight tiny reindeer fell into a lake at a Christmas park. Their entombed bodies are protruding through its icy surface for all the visiting kids to see. (Maybe
coyotes did it.) People have been rescuing deer from the ice every winter for
decades and
decades and
decades. If you want things to end well,
let the professionals handle it.

Alt.Xmas.Music.Lyrics. I've never been accused in the past of only posting serious news item type links - so just to prove that i'm no stick-in-the-mud here is a fun link. It apparently requires no shockwave plugins..... ladies and gentlemen--and especially you cosmopolite European members--I give you, after a wee scroll down and download....
Walking Round In Women's Underwear!! please enjoy this during work hours.

With winter and the holiday season fast approaching, let's get the annual
snowcraft link out of the way. Shockwave plug-in required.
