Eastern half too. thats where Im at.
One i could relate too is on weekends the only thing you can do is build a bonfire or rent a movie. The bonfire will be built more often than not.

Deer season is DAYs off from school (well, back when i was in school), there is critters all over the walls, and we feed the ones that are still living.

some of us around here do more than just feed the animals too....;)

:eek:
