o you think the Deer are really suicidal or for some odd they just ran in front of your vehicle? This is a thing with deer now?
Yes the deer in WV get suicidal, unfortunately. This is a reason why illegally taking deer out of season here is not strongly enforced. The deer population here gets incredibly large at times.
There's even special seasons called to allow an open hunt, just to thin them down. This means bucks or does, no fawn. At the same time if a doe is near fawn you might not feel regret in taking her as doing so is for the good of population control.
WV also allows for hunting deer as varmints on private land as they can ruin crops, destroy fencing for livestock.Imagine losing $10,000 worth of corn, tobacco, beans due to deer coming in and trampling, eating it all up. Hard pressed to not try to find some kind of justice by stopping the deer fiends.
To the credit of WV's Hillbillies no one actually steps out of line too far, to the extreme that people poach deer. It is perfectly fine if you need to eat that you hunt deer with, or without license, at least that seems the general consensus. Do not abuse that however and you need to use all you kill, or barter and trade it, give it away.
As far as I can tell it's been "a thing" with the deer here in WV since I was five years old. My step dad brought us back here that year to join Uncle Luther's hunt. A lot of the family came and covered all of his farm land/s. It's probably been this way a lot longer than that. Our hunt would have been back in 1977, in 1976 we celebrated bicentennial and I was four years old, in 1978 I had the last flu I've ever had in my life.
Why do I want flu injected into me? Dead or alive its still the damn flu being injected into me. No thank you. Not had any flu since '78, won't start having it again. So, I refuse flu shots. And yes I know it's more about being for "everybody else". Well you know what? Everybody else ain't me and in this case I will be selfish a bit. Not had it, don't look to get it and if I do I'll be smart enough to stay home when sick and not spread it. Gee, I do that when I have an actual cold too. So I reckon I'm not as selfish as let on, eh?
Nor am I as stupid as those what don't stay home when ill and continue spreading illness without care to exercise common sense, empathy, compassion, humanism. But then you know I have trouble being a dryer setting.
I know you want to work, but maybe not while we’re in a Doomsday Book scenario.
Do appreciate the concern but honestly it doesn't matter to me, and in fact even such a bad scenario still presents itself as an "excuse". And yes it might be reasonable to not work during such a time. Still there's no point sitting here feeling useless.
regular soap works just as well for the virus handwashing as the anti bacterial stuff will not kill virus I think.
Correct. Plain old soap and water as hot as you can stand does the job. It attacks the fatty layer of the virus protein actually, this in turn then kills off the virus as it cannot sustain itself. People don't need anything fancy, soap and water works. If you want then after washing hands you can sanitize just as extra precaution but the soap and water are enough.
And this also helped get rid of Black Death as well. Cleanliness drove off the rats carrying the ticks which transmitted the plague. The Catholic Church at the time was less than helpful as they took to killing off domesticated cats which also fought against the rats. The Church's reasoning was that the cats were devil spawn and it was them which brought the disease, or so it was said/told.
I think however perhaps the Church had other motives, perhaps even one a touch sinister. What better way to cleanse the land of the Pagani (Latin, now in modern English it is Pagan), (those who live in the hills) that could not read or write and were ignorant, followed heathen ways? So, they stopped a possible contributing cure.
The Pagani loved cats. They knew cats keep rats/mice at bay and out of cereal cribs/silos. So farms in these rural areas often encouraged small prides of cats. And by saying cereal above I mean any kind of grain crop really, maize, oats, wheat, barley, rice, mullet. This clashing of cultures over cats also explains why the popular images of witches soon presented as having familiars as cats. The Church demonized pastoral life that it so promotes in suggesting the allegory of a "good shepherd".
Hold me back! That sounds kinky.
I was distressed.
