Palate Cleanser: I’ve only had a couple of days where deer have hit me…

..but never a unicorn? That driver (heh!) out to be thanking their lucky stars that Unicorns explode into foamy colored bits instead of a carcass coming through your windshield. Oh wait – what’s the penalty for killing a Unicorn out of season?? You know those Govt hunting regulations, right?  Is there even a season for … Read more
