Well, it's Thanksgiving week, and tomorrow is the first day of Deer Hunting by Gun Season. I hope everyone is safe in the woods, if you are going out hunting. Also anyone who is going into the woods just to walk, be careful.
I want to wish everyone a happy and very safe Thanksgiving holiday. Don't eat too much, but enjoy what you have.
