<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 7970518, member: 10461&quot;]Funny you should mention ‘possums.&nbsp; Yesterday evening we returned from our short <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/stop-what-you%E2%80%99re-doing-snap-a-picture-and-post-it-right-now.384366/page-37#post-7966537" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/stop-what-you%E2%80%99re-doing-snap-a-picture-and-post-it-right-now.384366/page-37#post-7966537">NC mountain vacation</a> trip.&nbsp; The night before we left, we found that a young ‘possum had gotten into the yard somehow and been killed by the dogs.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Upon our <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/stop-what-you%E2%80%99re-doing-snap-a-picture-and-post-it-right-now.384366/page-40#post-7969357" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/stop-what-you%E2%80%99re-doing-snap-a-picture-and-post-it-right-now.384366/page-40#post-7969357">return</a> yesterday, we noticed a bad smell by the driveway and found two <i>more</i> dead ‘possums.&nbsp; You see, the dogs had gotten out of the fence during our absence, when our relief zookeeper was away.&nbsp; The neighbors rounded them back up.&nbsp; It seems they (the dogs) wanted to get at the other critters so bad, they’d pushed their way through a weak spot in the fence (which is a patchwork job after repairs from Hurricane Matthew).&nbsp; Then the dogs had themselves a little killing spree. Mother Nature can sure be a harsh mistress sometimes.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1382529[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess we’ve got to stop putting cat food on the ground, and inadvertently luring the ‘possums into a death trap.&nbsp; Poor things suffer enough from roadkill fatalities as it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unsurprisingly, yours is nicer than <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/roman-egypt-alexandria-billon-tetradrachm-of-hadrian-ca-117-138-ad-canopic-jar-of-osiris.368503/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/roman-egypt-alexandria-billon-tetradrachm-of-hadrian-ca-117-138-ad-canopic-jar-of-osiris.368503/">mine</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>That’s one of my best “holeys” now.&nbsp; Thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>And thanks for all this, [USER=19250]@Paddy54[/USER], though it was really a bit too much.&nbsp; Anyone would enjoy seeing a thread like this in their honor- and I did, thoroughly- but now, having received one, I’m more than a little bit embarrassed by all the fuss and fanfare.</p><p><br /></p><p>OK, the parade’s done, now, folks- it’s October 26th.&nbsp; “LordM Day” is over.&nbsp; As you were- resume normal forum activities.</p><p><br /></p><p>But hey, anybody wanna stay a little while and help me sweep up all this confetti?&nbsp; Pfft!&nbsp; I think some of it even got in my <i>mouth</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3">Have to be careful it doesn’t go to my <i>head</i>.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
