Man, I rally need to get out of CT. I can't shoot at anything in town.

Never heard of "rat shot". What is it like? A .22 cal shotgun shell?

And eaten four squirrel omelettes.

So far this year, squirrels have torn through hundreds of pears he had been planning to can, scattering the rotten fruit across his yard. He tried putting out deer corn for them, but they ate through a garbage can to get to a larger supply.

Well, that's a fundamental error. I should know, because I did the same thing. I had two or three squirrels who raided by bird feeders. So, I put out some deer corn for the squirrels on the railing of my deck. It drew their attention from the bird feeders -- as long as the corn lasted. But of course, the corn vanishes in an hour or two. Replenishing it often attracted more squirrels. And very soon I had, not two or three, but eight or ten, squirrels divebombing my birdseed feeders by launching themselves from the eaves.

I wrote about this episode, and the lesson it teaches, on the NCFR board. My munificence toward the squirrels worked just exactly like the welfare system. Once you start the program, the demand for whatever you're giving away increases more rapidly than your ability (or willingness) to increase the supply.

Or, to put it more succinctly, no good deed goes unpunished.

"...This isn't Brooklyn..."

That's really the problem
Too many "two-twelves" (212 - NY area code) new to Raleigh.
They're not in tune with the American culture.
Why should they be?
They're not American.

Then move back north where you belong.
