[Image description: A traditional drawing based on the film Strange Behavior. It's drawn with coloured pencils over a layer of yellow oil pastel. The facs of Pete Brady is the focus, though it's slightly off centre. It has a colour palette of warm yellows, oranges and pinks with some purple and green shading. A hand presses down on Pete's forehead and holds his eyes open as a needle inches towards his eyeball. He's trying to pull his face away from it, though the drawing is confined to a warped triangle. He has a terrified expression with his eyes wide and his mouth agape. Above him in pink, surrounded by blue swirls, there's the word "strange". Below him, in less eye-catching colours and a smaller font, is the word "behaviour". To the left of him, there's a warped panel containing a toilet with blood splatter on it. To the right of him, there's a disembodied arm that holds a needle. There's a large bead of liquid at the top of it. The background is yellow with pink, blue and green swirls scattered around it.]

The fearless buck
My neighbor and fellow deer-hunter phoned me a couple of weeks ago with a strange tale about a fearless deer.
He was suited up and heading out for an evening hunt, he said; as he stepped out his door, he noticed a 6-point buck standing near a tree line, just 20 yards away. He expected the buck to behave in the usual way and bolt into the woods as soon it saw him. But it didn't it just stood there and let my neighbor approach.
Like me, my neighbor has a "demilitarized zone" - the area immediately surrounding our houses where deer are safe - so he had no intention of shooting the buck; he just found the situation curious.
A couple of days later, I looked out our back slider and saw the buck you see in this photo munching acorns just a few yards from our deck railing.
As an experiment, I opened the slider and stepped onto the deck - an action that always sends deer heading for cover. But this one just stood there and let me take all the photos I wanted. I walked to the railing and started down the steps before it finally turned and walked away - in no particular hurry.
It had to be the same six-point that let my neighbor approach.
I have no explanation, only a couple of theories: a) Maybe this buck was raised as a pet by some well-meaning person and grew too accustomed to humans; b) Maybe it was born with a sensory deprivation (smell, sight ...?).
Any other ideas ...?

"Duality of Human Nature: A Review of 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' by Robert Louis Stevenson"
Tumblr media
Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is a timeless classic that delves into the depths of human psychology, exploring the dualities that exist within each individual. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of Victorian London, Stevenson's novella follows the story of Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected scientist, and his mysterious alter ego, Mr. Edward Hyde. Through the eyes of Mr. Utterson, Jekyll's friend and lawyer, readers are drawn into a tale of suspense, intrigue, and moral ambiguity that continues to captivate audiences over a century after its initial publication.
At the heart of the novella lies the exploration of the duality of human nature—the eternal struggle between good and evil, virtue and vice. Stevenson masterfully depicts Dr. Jekyll's internal conflict as he grapples with the darker aspects of his personality that are embodied by Mr. Hyde. Through Jekyll's scientific experiments and subsequent transformation into Hyde, Stevenson raises profound questions about the nature of identity, morality, and the consequences of unchecked desires. The novella serves as a cautionary tale, warning readers of the dangers of suppressing one's true self and the potential consequences of yielding to temptation.
One of the most striking aspects of "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is Stevenson's skillful use of atmosphere and setting to create a sense of foreboding and unease. The fog-shrouded streets of London, the dimly lit alleys, and the eerie silence of the city at night serve as the perfect backdrop for the unfolding mystery. Stevenson's vivid descriptions evoke a palpable sense of dread, drawing readers into a world where danger lurks around every corner and the boundaries between reality and nightmare blur.
Moreover, the novella is populated by a cast of memorable characters, each representing different facets of human nature. From the upright and respectable Dr. Jekyll to the sinister and malevolent Mr. Hyde, Stevenson's characters are complex and multidimensional, reflecting the inherent contradictions and complexities of the human psyche. Through their interactions, Stevenson explores themes of morality, guilt, and the consequences of sin, inviting readers to confront their own capacity for darkness and self-deception.
As the plot unfolds, Stevenson masterfully builds suspense, leading readers on a journey of discovery as they uncover the truth behind Dr. Jekyll's transformation into Mr. Hyde. With each revelation, the tension mounts, culminating in a shocking climax that leaves readers breathless and questioning the nature of humanity itself. "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is a masterpiece of psychological horror that continues to resonate with readers today, reminding us of the eternal struggle between light and darkness that exists within us all.
Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is available in Amazon in paperback 10.99$ and hardcover 17.99$ editions.

I thought on Facebook the general rule was to add people that you actually like... KNOW? Or have at least idk... talked to ever, even a single time before? Or interacted with in some way???
And yet it seems like every dogbook person who has even a single mutual with me sends me friend requests, even though they've NEVER talked to or interacted with me before. They don't even bother to send a message first to introduce themselves or anything, just random friend requests out of the blue. I DON'T KNOW YOU! Why would I add you to my personal social media as a friend when we are complete strangers??? Honestly socially weird af behavior and makes me instantly suspicious.

Viddying the Nasties | Strange Behavior (Laughlin, 1981)
Tumblr media
At the beginning of Strange Behavior, it seems that our hero might be Dan Shor, the bizarrely old looking high school student who wants to go to a local college instead of going out and exploring the world like his father insists. But as the movie progresses, it becomes clear that our hero is not Shor, but his father Michael Murphy, the decidedly square chief of police of the podunk town in which the movie is set. At first he seems almost pathologically ordinary, his greatest concern being that the minifridge in his office doesn’t make his beer sufficiently cold. But then we get hints of his past regrets, and that maybe the reason he’s pushing his son to go to one of those fancy eastern colleges is that he never followed through on it himself. And then we get this off the cuff scene of him buying flowers for his wife, who’s been dead for years and no matter how brave a face he’s put on, he’s never gotten over it. And when he finally figures out what the hell is going on in this podunk town, and he picks up a gun and puts on his old glasses and steps into the role of hero, well, I was a little moved.
Murphy is known mostly for playing stodgy authority figures, and that serves him well in disguising the depths of his character early on. But he’s also capable of a great deal of snark, and in the climax you get to savour him Murphing out, waving his gun around and barking out threats. And in between those poles, well, it turns out he’s capable of nuance and sympathy, and you can see those qualities in his performance over the course of the movie. I think you need to be partial to Murphy’s acting style going into the movie in order to enjoy his work here or at least pick up on what he’s doing, but it’s there if you look for it. So there’s some pretty interesting stuff going on with his character and his performance.
The problem is that it’s buried under the movie’s relentlessly deadpan style. This is either an homage to or a parody of ‘50s paranoid horror, but it plays its cards so close to its chest that it’s hard to tell which one. So I admit I struggled with this for the bulk of the runtime, and clung for dear life to Murphy’s performance because I could at least tell what he was going for. I will note that there are fun moments, like a song and dance number that goes on for much longer than you’d expect and a needle in the eye like the one in Dead and Buried the same year. And you have Fiona Lewis, who sounds too reasonable to be a mad scientist even if her crazy hairdo says otherwise. And you have the atmospheric widescreen compositions which do a lot of the legwork in imbuing tension into the proceedings when the movie’s tonal covertness leaves you hanging.

Okay, this is weird
Thanks to our vandal, we’ve got trail cams set up in key areas. After finding the lock on our gate glued a few times, back in 2018, we set one up on a tree facing the gate, and that’s how we caught our vandal in the act. Since then, part of my morning routine is to switch out the memory cards and check the files. Sometimes, however, weather, snow, or other factors means we skip a day – or…
