NYU Graduation at Yankee Stadium

Attending NYU graduation isn’t for the weak of body or soul.  President John Sexton’s greeting stated that “the 14,000 plus members of the Class of 2013 represent the entire country and the globe and nearly 420,000 other New York University graduates throughout the world.”  Everything about it is huge and takes hours.  Just look at this panoramic view of the stadium.  The lower stands are filled with graduates in their purple robes.

Fawn Back?

This afternoon I went into my backyard and saw a tiny fawn running along behind his mother in the backyard of the house around the corner.  Could it be the same fawn?

Two comments:  We live in an area that was subdivided into 300 ft. deep lots so there is a large open rectangular space of backyards.  There are many trees that obstruct view but no fences.  It is beautiful but very open.  And #2:   Maybe it is good to be retired.  Otherwise I would not be able to enjoy the natural phenomena.

Fawn Gone

Around noon I looked out my kitchen window and saw a young deer with a newborn baby deer standing in our neighbor’s back yard.  She was nudging it to walk but it just sat down.  She walked away into our yard.  After a few minutes the baby put its head down to sleep.  She watched it from a distance for a while and then walked away.  I watched her wander through the trees until she was about four houses away and I lost sight of her.

I didn’t go look at it for fear I would scare her away but at 2:30 I was getting concerned.  John from across the street came over and when he heard about the baby deer, he went right over to see it.  It was still breathing but was covered with flies.  He tried to rouse it but it would not wake up. There was no sign of the mother and we agreed that it would die if left unattended.  So I went in and called the police department to find out what could be done.
