It’s nice to live in the country in these times. Any deranged mobs who head out my way will likely be eaten by the squirrels before they get here. We have badass squirrels.
Squirrels are tough. If they got to 10 pounds, the woods would be a terrifying place.
My thoughts exactly when I read about all of this post-election riots and violence. We live on a 30 acre beef cattle farm in a rural area several miles outside of a very small town (pop. 900) and the next big city (pop. 130,000) about 35 miles away.
We have squirrels which we trap and shoot with our critter gun because they ruin our pecans and destroy our garden. Rats with fur.
But we also have some mean, aggressive nasty armadillos that you don't want to tangle with. I'd bet on one of these armadillos up against an antifa rioter any day.
