Welcome to our weekly excursion into the absurd and sublime, Friday Fun. I’d like to make two quick notes before we get to the fun.
First, I really want to thank you, constant reader, for being a part of this community. I feel that I don’t thank y’all for putting up with us enough, so Thank You.
Second, this Editor went on his yearly deer hunting trip yesterday. There was a time when he hunted all season long, but of late it seems to have lost some of its luster. This year however, despite not getting to the spot until nearly 0900, your editor killed a spindly little 6 point. For whatever reason, that shot seems to have rekindled some of the passion your editor had for deer hunting.
Anyway, on to the fun. . .
November is really about g̶i̶v̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶n̶k̶s̶
