Our dogs (mostly the husky) attacked a white-tailed deer this morning. It seems as though the doe attempted to jump over the gate to the back area of our property, but got her foot caught on a loop of wire, rendering her helpless. Our neighbor notified my brother and I about the incident (pretty much no way of knowing whether the dogs are just barking at something or actually attacking it unless you're looking), and we got to the doe and tried to help her as quickly as we could, but we were too late. She died shortly after we got the dogs away and freed her foot.
I took some pictures of the scene. Call it irreverent or gross, but it's just how I roll. The worst thing is the blood, but if you're squeamish you might want to beware.
Big image warning; maybe I'll do something about it later.

Better do something about that carcass, too... Too bad the folks are away for the weekend and my brother is an ineffectual germophobe.

Shock I guess? Doesn't look like has any especially fatal wounds unless hit an artery in that leg, or has worse wounds on side we can't see. Quite a bit of blood though.

If deer’s blood smells anything likes dog’s blood, then the whole place must have stunk like hell.
I’d have to agree with Nemz about the deer dieing of shock, the wounds just don’t look severe enough to have been fatal. Poor things heart probably just gave out.

As I've mentioned tangentially, I went to Cahokia mounds yesterday. They were built about 1000 years ago by the Mississippian culture, and the largest of the mounds, Monk's Mound, (from which these pictures were taken), is about 110 feet tall and about a football field long. It was the second largest prehistoric structure built in the western hemisphere, behind one of the pyramids the Aztecs built. Incidentally, the name Monk's Mound doesn't come from its function in the ancient city, but from the fact that there was a small French chapel that occupied a portion of the mound in the early 1700s.
It's a four terrace structure, although due to erosion, it's difficult to make out even three. The only fairly clear terraces are the first and third terraces, with the fourth terrace only visible as a small rise at the back of the third. The second terrace is almost completely eroded away, although there's been some restoration effort being put forth into it.
First picture here is taken from the side. The first terrace is at left, which rises into the third terrace in the center. If you notice, it kicks upward just a bit towards the right. That's the fourth terrace.
I took some panoramic shots from the top, too. You'll have to forgive the PERSPECTIVE.
This one was taken from the top of the stairs heading up to the first terrace. If you look closely at the next terrace, you can see the left side's a little less steep than the right. That's what's left of the second terrace.
This one was taken from the stairs leading up from the third terrace, looking south towards four or five other mounds in the complex. There's also a slight rise in the first terrace, on the right. This was the location of the temple in the original complex. It burned down several times, and the debris built it up into a little mound in itself. Incidentally, this is where the French decided to located their chapel as well.
The last view is off to the west, towards St. Louis. If you squint, you might be able to just make it out on the horizon near the center of the pan. The perspective is pretty bad on this one. The unmowed area in the middle is part of the second terrace, most of it slumped off in a small landslide.
In all honesty, there wasn't a lot to do at Cahokia, though. There's a small museum in the interpretive center, although even giving all the exhibits justice, it's about a 20 minute walk through.
However, it is a fascinating experience to go there and wonder how impressive it must have looked in its heyday, when it was surrounded by prairie land instead of patchy forest and city; when it was still intact with a city of 20,000 living on and around them.

Watching too much anime has convinced me that I could still run a mile or two after having my stomach cut open.
I'm wondering if internal trauma may have played some role in the doe's death as well. When we found the doe, she was literally hanging upside down against the metal gate (the one splattered with blood in the photos), with her left foot gruesomely held in place by a very tight loop of wire. It would have taken a failed attempt to leap over the gate to get her into the predicament, so that basically entails a rather unpleasant fall. Hit her head too hard, maybe? And she looked pregnant, too...
Alas... A mystery it must be.

Ahh... my 8th grade field trip. It's improved significantly since I first went, as the grounds are actually maintained regularly and not just a bunch of unmowed grass fields and mud pits. The visitor's center is a HUGE upgrade from the former version, a moldy log cabin near monk's mound that was more roadside gift shop than information repository. The main mound itself didn't have stairs then either.
There's a lot more to the site than it appears, as the mounds extend for dozens of miles in all directions and also include a fairly nifty Stonehenge-like wooden sundial. Most of the mounds were not used for burial and thus were not realized to be of archaeological significance until much later, after many of them had been leveled or built on.
It's also worth noting that at the height of the mound builder's culture Cahokia was both larger and more densely populated than contemporary London or Paris.

People will definitely find that offensive.
In this time of Rebuild, I'm proud to be one of the few fans of the original NGE, and one of the last proud fans of Asuka Langley Soryu.

You remind me of this musical artist, Pizza-kun. This song is called "Histoires de luv". This is the best day ever.

I can see why some people would find this offensive, but I don’t happen to one of them. If anything I find the picture slightly confusing. Is the picture trying to imply that you had something to do with the explosion? Is your expression meant to convey how little you care about the events taking place right before your eyes? Are you some kind of giant monster attacking the city? Honestly the picture just conjures up so many different questions in my mind that I feel like I’m walking down a hall of mirrors, and thus have no time to be offended.

I'm going to play the "it's open up to different interpretations" card. I think that's one of Anno's cards as well.
