We decided to return to Vita Bella on Eastern Ave in Essex (formerly Windward Grille) for dinner recently and it was a very good decision. We have had very good meals and service there and this time was no exception. We like the variety on the menu and the specials are always worth a look. I got the chicken saltimbocca and it was terrific. Jim got chicken parm which was a hearty portion and delicious. I had the cannoli martini for my decadent dessert. The bar area was hopping but still a pleasant atmosphere. Vita Bella is turning into one of our “out of town” favorites.

Here is Lindsay Moran at 1 Arthur St

There is a group of deer on the golf course that I see just about every morning at 4:30AM on one side of Moorland Rd near the Golf Course maintenance building. I know they are likely to be there so I drive slowly.

I see them.

They see me.

Inevitably they leap out in front of my truck seconds before I’m about to pass them.

I can’t quite understand what is going through their brains that they put themselves in harms way instead of just staying there. Same with rabbits and squirrels but I just figure the rabbit and squirrel brains are tiny so they don’t have the processing power. Surely deer have to be smarter but seemingly without fail they leap out in front of oncoming traffic consistently.

It doesn’t really bother me that much but I’ve heard from more than one person that say it bothers them.

How bout you? I never really even thought about it. Has it been something you’ve thought about?
