	We have a bunch of those, too.  More deer than you can shake yer stick 
at, tons of bear, bobcat, Canadian lynx, coyotes, cougar, black panther, 
copperheads and timber rattlers.  I hear that our place was choked with 
copperhead before we bought it.  I haven't seen one yet.

	I tihnk Mr. Possum might have taken two of my tiny Frizzies (chickens). 
  I had the opportunity to blast him yesterday, but I'm such a pussy I 
won't do it unless I know it was him.  So he lives... for now.

	A few months ago the hordes of squirrels we had moved out.  Apparently 
the drought was so bad that they had nothing to eat and made off for 
greener, nuttier pastures.
