I live in CA, and am sick of everyone bashing us here. Yes, there are some wackos who get their voice heard because of the wackos in power here, but the everyday person is normal and sane and I don't even know one Democrat in my circle of friends.
The squirrels are a pain. Kill them. We had an invasion in our little yard and the vector control made us use these useless traps with mainly inert poison. BB gun did nothing. Finally decon worked. They multiply faster than the local rabbits and are in no way endangered here.
My 12 year old went out today and shot two of 'em ... that's what we do around here ... then we eat 'em.
