Oh! Some people around here don't like possums. I suppose I just like to live and let live. I got into trouble today at the pub for saying that snakes need sanctuary from the floods as well. I occasionally play my music too loud for the neighbors.....but at least they don't beat me over the head with a shovel or swerve to hit me in their truck and yet my noise is much louder.  |
That is so funny! We have that problem here sometimes with tree squirrels. And one time I had a big den of flying squirrels take up residence in the attic above the apartment I lived in at the time. I could hear them scratching around as they started to wake up in the evenings, and if I went out on the balcony around dusk I could watch them as them popped out from under the eaves, one by one, and sailed over to the trees.
