Scientist photographing hobbit skull
Cool. They discovered little humans - hobbits! Oddly enough, they lived on the same islands where komodo dragons lived. Fantasy comes to life!

I was driving home last night and saw a buck deer sitting oddly close to the highway up on the shoulder of Hwy 290, west of Austin. I thought about stopping but figured if it had been hit by a car, then it was wounded and would probably die anyway. Sure enough on my way into work this morning, I looked for it - and of course it was lying there dead... nice little buck too... about a 6-pointer. There's lots of roadkill everywhere here in the Texas hill country. It's a shame we can't do something to help prevent so many animal deaths from automobiles.
