I’m also pretty sure the “disillusioned” little jerk either converted or pretended very well-if he hadn’t, he’d be missing his head. If MrT5 were here, he’d be saying the deserter needed to go directly to a court(s)martial, do not pass go, etc.
I enjoy nature but this is getting ridiculous. We have a pair of chipmunks raiding our veggie garden and we had to free a snake last night that got caught in the netting on the mulch and just now, a groundhog was seen running through the back yard. I opened both gates to shoo him out but he dodged back into the shrubs. I think it’s time for a trap to relocate some critters.
