I have two burning questions today:
1.) Do deer whistles really work? Some people swear by them, while others claim they hit multiple deer despite the whistles on their car. Now I guess there is an argument that maybe they only hit deaf deer. Who knows. This morning we were driving down the long, dark, dirt road on our way to work. A big buck was just about to cross in front of us when he stopped dead in his tracks. He looked like our dogs when they KNOW they did something wrong and are about to get into trouble . . . you know, like a deer in the headlights. We had his captive attention. Luckily Karlo spotted him early and slowed way down and the buck retreated back into the woods. Was it the whistles that saved us?
2.) Can nylon knee-highs expire? I don’t see an expiration date on the package, but I am assuming they MUST expire. This morning, I pulled out a BRAND NEW pair of black nylon knee-highs from a package that I must have had for lots of years. By the time I walked from the car to the office, they were down around my ankles. Nothing bugs me more than slouchy knee highs. This is going to ruin my day. I’m going to have to find some elastics, or tape, or even staples - if I must, to keep them up. Why don’t the manufactures simply print an expiration date on nylons to save me the aggravation?

my parents swear by the deer whistle, they believe it is the reason why they have not hit a deer
whenever they drive to the casino.
as for the nylons, get rid of them
and buy the tights.
You're so funny. Luke put a deer whistle on his bike. We're not sure if it makes a difference, but if it might help, even a little, why not? I would say that nylons would absolutely expire. Just like rubber bands that dry out and loose their elasticity, I would bet that nylons would do the same. But I agree with Tina anyhow, it's time for tights.
Knee-high tights??? I'm confused.
I was thinking full-length tights, but they do make knee-high tights. Like knee-high nylons, only thicker, like socks.
