To: Pete from Shawnee Mission
Thanks for the advice on chipmunk eradication.

And NO, I absolutely never use poisons.
Using poisons on or around the vegetables I intend to
eat seems just a wee be stupid - don't ya think?

But hawks are the final step of the chipmunk disposal process.
I place the deceased chipmunk carcasses from the trap on
an old log/fallen tree in some nearby woods - and the
red tailed hawks carry them away to feed their young.
I've watched the process.

So the circle of life completes - and I still get my tomatoes.
Some of them, anyway.

"wee be stupid" = "wee BIT stupid".

Oh boy - It's 10:30 AM - and time to brew more coffee...
