You know what stinks?


Having a family of skunks living under your apartment. Had Critter Control come out so hopefully they will be gone soon. Thank the Lord for Nag Champa, a stick a day keeps the stink away. I could have done the trapping myself (all you need is a trap and some peanut butter, tuna, or chicken parts) only I do not have a pick-up truck to transport the little stinkers to freedom far far away from Swissaire.

Something interesting, skunks are very social so if you think you have just one there are probably at least 5. Also skunks hate loud music so if you're brave you can try to scare them off with loud rock and roll. However, this can also back fire and you could just get sprayed. The trapper who came out told me that one time when he worked in Houston he had 17 skunks in the back of his truck when some kids rolled up next to him with some sweet bass. Needless to say a yellow cloud began emanating from his truck bed and those dudes were out of there.

First catch....a rather large possum. Might be a long fight.

That is by far the greatest story I've heard all year. It's like fishing for mammals... that stink.
Awesome.
