                                Rifle  season just opened in Kentucky. Tennessee and Virginia will join the  party in a few days. This is, undoubtedly, the best time of the year to  be in the deer woods in most states. The bucks are either cruising in  search of a doe or they are already chasing one. You folks in Louisiana  and Alabama need to take a trip up to your northern neighbors. Any day  and any time is the right time to be hunting for a good buck. Take a  vacation, pack a lunch, and stay in the woods, because this will be your  best opportunity for a wall-hanger.

                                Are you ever alone?
 I  remember from my childhood one particular visit to the circus.  The  clowns were hilarious, and I recall one stunt in which one of them drove  out this teeny, tiny car, stopped, and then it seemed like a hundred  clowns got out.
 
 Does it ever seem to you like all of those clowns have moved into your home?  Or, your office space?
