Urban Deer are here to stay… And the Breadboard serves yummy yummy breakfast and lunch. – some things never change…
According to the latest information from the City of Ashland, there is a new kind of deer – “Urban Deer”. I was reading the new brochure the other day while sipping my latte at the Breadboard. Apparently, some of the Urban Deer reside in the fire station because there was a picture of them hanging out in the garage next to vehicle 8863. I was trying to decide whether to have something sweet and cakey and yummy like a stuffed peaches and cream french toast or to go more full on protein and get a California Omlette with avocado and bacon with a side of sausage patties and an extra side of bacon, you know – on the side, and I was even wondering if they would ever have a venison special and then I realized they probably wouldn’t because the brochure from the city mentioned that we shouldn’t feed the deer. When I started to think about that I realized that if a whole section of the brochure was devoted to explaining why we shouldn’t feed the deer then apparently there are people in Ashland who see “Urban Deer” as something different than “wild” deer and view them as pets or guests or something. So, the Breadboard would probably think it might be politically incorrect to feature venison because some people might think that if a regular visitor to their garden was missing then maybe someone at the Breadboard was involved in a sinister way and all kinds of bad feelings could come up. Yeah. And apparently the deer do not always use the crosswalk so you should hit them with your car if they surprise you at night – or something like that. Anyway, I decided to go with a very yummy Huevos Rancheros, and I then I read that there was a $500 fine for feeding the deer and I realized that I probably should start shopping for a lawyer because the plants in my yard are a virtual deer grocery outlet and I think the deer in our neighborhood are very well fed due to my my efforts at landscaping.
