Life with Clark, I mean MARK: Deer Cams

My father is an avid outdoorsman. He loves to be outside hunting and fishing. He just may have a slight problem. Clark loves to go to Scheels and buy anything and everything for turkey hunting, fishing, deer hunting...(the list goes on)... well actually he just loves to go to Scheels. He often tells my mother that they are only making one stop at the mall, thankful Scheels as a great women's section or my mother might not have the best clothing section to shop from.

Well Clark found some Deer Cameras in Scheels one day and well life was never quite the same for anyone in the Goldmann household. You would think having just one would be enough, well not for Clark. He informed my mother, "Paula there's more than one place the deer will gather to eat, I need to be able to see all the spots we can hunt from." So Clark, once again got his way and now is the proud owner of many deer cameras. This would have been perfectly fine IF IT STOPPED THERE... But this is life with Clark so of course it didn't. He would then bring home the memory cards and have the entire family sit down and watch the still photos taken from the deer cams as if we were gathering around the television for a friday night movie. Mind you that these deer cams are set to go off when it senses any sort of motion, so often we were looking at pictures of nothing and sometimes all you could see were the eyes of some animal reflecting the flash in its eyes at night. When a deer was in the photo, Clark would keep the image on the screen as if he was trying to get us to memorize every detail of the deer so when we got out hunting we knew just what deer we were after. Let's just say after one sitting of the deer camera show I had my fill for life.

However; Clark did find a way to get his money's worth & use his deer camera during the off season of hunting. One morning my mother got out of the bathtube and opened up the linen closet for a towel, you can imagine her surprise when she was scared half to death by the deer cam flash going off. After she got done screaming she could hear Clark chuckling from the living room, she however was not impressed.
