ORIGINAL: tj444 The original use doesnt matter to me, its what it/Christmas is to me today.. I am not religious and I dont partake in the commercial crap & there are no kiddies to buy useless junk for so its just a time to meet some new (to me) people and have nice conversations and have some good fun.. well, as much fun as one can have with so many Republicans.. [:D] First, considering the 2/3rds of the human population falls under the umbrella label "terminally stupid" the odds of having nice conversations are slim to zero. Secondly, good fun? Seriously? All the fun stuff is considered socially or morally unacceptable, or involves getting shitfaced, knee walking, toilet hugging drunk so remembering it is pretty much out of the question. Third, Republicans dont have fun. Seriously, look at the average Republican, they look like they been sucking on sour persimmons for a month! Now, me, I had a lot of fun last night (although I damn near froze my nuts off) because I went to my other property where light pollution is as near to zero as you can get, set up my portable telescope and watched the stars and the meteor shower. I also eavesdropped on a few conversations the local wildlife was having. The coyotes were going on about something (probably about a bunch of goats some local didnt get pinned before dark so basically it was a convo about a free buffet. There were a few owls gossiping (had to be gossip, they kept asking 'who?') Seems there was a pair of Mexican panthers screaming back and forth (although officially, the Texas Fish and Game deny they are in the area, so me and about 3 dozen other people who have heard them are actually suffering from auditory hallucinations.) And a couple of Kera's cousins moved into the area for the winter and they were talking back and forth, with Kera putting her two cents in. Downloaded the pics from the trail cameras that I have set around the property, which means I have some news for the hunters on the site. You think you are being sneaky, but I have concluded that deer know exactly what a trail cam is. I got about ten shots of the same damn doe looking straight into the lens of one of mine. I swear the damn thing was trying to take selfies!
