My neighbor is driving me bonkers a little bit. There are 14 units that have porches. We have possums. THey eat her tomatoes and they have fleas that bite her and inconvenience her son, so we have a no kill trap, I post pictures on occasion. So she's hellbent to catch ALL OF THEM, but they reproduce and have babies and the babies grow up etc, etc.., it's a never ending problem. But she thinks we can catch them ALL, she has an urgency about it that is unnerving, it makes me want to catch none of them. The old manager used to catch them and flick them by their tail into the wash out back, certain death. It was recommended I dump the trap in the pool and drown them. Can you imagine? I don't roll that way, so I take them to a nearby canyon, 30 miles round trip. Usually I multitask and run errands over there after dropping them off, but it's kind of a haul to justify doing some grocery shopping. And my car is basically on it's last leg, now the driver window is stuck up so it's like driving in a sauna in this humid hot weather. Long story short, I'm not super eager to set the trap every night. My whole morning is shot when we catch one because I'm the only one who takes them to the canyon. I asked her why she doesn't take them if she wants the trap in her backyard everynight, "Oh noo, No, no. no, no way. I ain;t stinkin' up my car, their poop smells." But apprently it's okay for me to stink up my car, it's now EXPECTED. So I've become kinda shut down about the trap thing because I feel sort of used stuck in the middle of her agenda not to have her tomatoes eaten. It's like an obsession, she mentions is EVERY DAY! Okay, done venting.
Now that I type it it feels better, but it seems trivial. But once you're doing it, driving back and forth and back and forth to cart one possum at a time to a better life, it just gets old. I wouldn;t care if my car was better maybe.
