Hey Joe, you want some more of those aggravating critters? I can't keep them shot away from my house on the night I put garbage out for the garbage pick up men.

I've even got some possums I'll throw in. Had one to come to the door of the house and scratch on it once. I asked my wife if I caught it alive by hand would she pet it. She didn't think I'd catch it. After I caught it I thought about going around to all the neighbor's houses and asking if they had lost their cat. I ended up letting it go, no one claimed it.

Ain't heard that song in years, TJ! It's a good one.
The Rockies are beautiful, Gringo. If mountains have one thing in-common, it's all up hill.
And I'll take a coon over a possum any day, Aimus. I hate those things. Couldn't tell ya how many
times I've opened the hood on an old car - stuck my head in, only to be confronted by one hissing
at me only 6" from my nose!

(hood latches leave a pretty good lump)
My brother-in-law called me Saturday morning with another one he had trapped overnight.
It was just a youngen so we let it go... I'm sure it will show back up.

i have only seen one possum in my life...it was standing out in the highway in the rain...didn't hit it with the truck...but..the trailer was a mess afterward.
i felt bad till i realized it was probably trying to car jack me.
