If you think it's a skunk, you might get a skunk trap. It's basically a trap out of plastic pipe just small enough that the skunk can not lift his tail. Only one good way to empty it though...into a pond...at least that's what our conservation dept guy said. If you trap it in a regular trap, getting rid of it will be real interesting!

Or you can use a regular live trap. Just approach the trap slowly while holding a large tarp in front of you, hiding you from the skunk. When you get to the trap, slowly cover the trap with the tarp. Wait until skunk quiets down. Sink trap in a garbage can filled with water.

Animal control people I've talked to say that's the only way to dispose of a skunk without an "accident". Or you may get lucky, and the skunk is on "empty" after an earlier blast. It takes about two weeks to build up a full charge.

Although it must be said that sleeping *in* until 0500 this morning was a luxury.

That's the goal anyway, my apologies to the first speaker... ;~D

Houston, we have an Opossum. Clear as day, I can see the two hind feet...looks like it stepped up and leaned against the coop...

I can see a front foot just right by the door, hard to see, because it's got a lot of digging and messing around in the soil right there.

So I know at least I've got an opossum, but I'm still not ruling out a skunk too. I'll post pictures later.

Mornin'

So, I wuz at thegym this mornin'. They have a bank of TVs set up in front of the treadmills (bring yer own earphones). They're all set to the news in the a.m.

I'll usually watch FOX, but will sometimes follow the closed captioning on the other sets. This morning ABC was in Britain and I read...

"And later we'll talk with Prince Andrew. We'll talk about his past, his two daughters and, of course, Ferryingi."

I swear I'm not making that up.

Could be... but there's also HP Dataprotector, which we also use. It is backup management software.

Mornin' folkses... [sip]
