Flying moles are next. And dogs with miner's lamps. (I've been able to use that dog thing twice today. You know, "Use 'Dogs with miner's lamps' in a sentence.")

Cheese Whiz is scarier than Velveeta. But juxtaposed, they both become scary.

Maybe it's the squirting out of the can thing. I can't myself believe they sold a single can.

I used to catch moles and take them far from their homes and families and let them go. Near Ish's place.

And a woodpecker made two holes in the (expensive) real wood moulding at the peak of my gable. Ten feet from the oak tree. It's Woodpeckerus 'martha stewart.'

Had a couple of friends, Bearce and Hoover, who lived next door to each other in a out in the sticks subdivision of 1/2 acre lots. 6 am Sunday morning Bearce hears a kablam, sticks his head out of the window to see what was going on. There stood a hungover Hoover with a 12 bore and a hole in the side of his house. Seems he couldn't take the woodpecker any more.

I've heard that woodpeckers like dark siding and if you go with a lighter color next time they'll leave you alone.
