Almost goofed

[Mo Lee]

This morning before daylight I let my three Basenji (dogs) out into the yard. About 20 minutes later I went out to feed them and as I walked around the corner of the house in the shadows I tripped over something. I could not see very well but it appeared to be a dead Possum. My first instinct was to grab it by the tail and get it out of the yard in case it was sick and get it away from the dogs. When I started to bend down I remembered the term playing Possum and decided my best course of action would be move it with my foot just in case after several short boots with my foot I managed to get it outside my fence and in a matter of minutes it got up and disappeared into the night. Guess the dogs had startled it and it was waiting to get away from them. Sure glad I did not pick it up I might have lost another finger.

Almost made a simular mistake last night myself.

I figured I would let the dog out one more time before I went to bed. Well Ozzie made it out the door, started to go down the front steps, then "POW"!!!! The stench was over welming!!! SKUNK!!!!. Luckilly Oz is well behaved and came right in before he got showered.

We have coyotes now. Well probably always had them but one morning I was out on the porch having a cup of coffee and a smoke and I saw two huddle underneath HDX's canoe. They saw me, didn't care and wondered off slowly. And with all the snow we had I saw tracks all over - up to the porch. Can't let the cat out anymore. I think that is what got my last cat and definitely my motherinlaw's cat a few months ago. If I'm ever home and wonder out to one on my steps - CLICK CLICK BOOM!

My Golden Retrievers managed to find a skunk for 3 years running. Think they'd learn after the first time but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...break out the industrial-size can of Tomato juice!!

Try monkey on a stick. Better than both of the above. Ate it in Okinawa, sold by vendors on the street. Just like the old pop corn vendors here in the old days.

[Smylinacha]

I don't think I could even try that one!

Never ate monkey [i think] . But thinking about them, When i was at Long Binh the monkeys would hit the trip flares [for fun] then some of the replacements would empty there clips thinking !! Charley!! As far as i know they didn't hit one. Did leave enough medal so years later the Vietnamese could make risers for Spyders

I think Columbia uses some of the monkey skins to line the coats they have made in Nam.

Eating from a street vendor in NYC.

Did a tour in Korea and never got intoxicated enough to eat from a street vendor down town.

It would be an experience for sure. I'd be afraid of going bananas over it
