Okeefenokee!

So, as we were departing our house this morning, we espied perched on Casa de Tiki's front gate a cat-sized-but-not-a-cat genuine Woodland Creature(tm)!! Putting full use to tiki's extensive qualifications as an Assistant Junior Nature Ranger, we quickly identified this species as POSSUM - SQEEEEEEE!!!!

Herewith the dramatic encounter:

tiki: *stares*
Possum: *stares*
tiki: *stares*
Possum: *stares*
tiki: *stares*
Possum: *stares*
tiki: Hello, Mr. Possum!
Possum: *shrugs and wanders away*

As we were relating this dramatic True Nature Story to our barista this morning, we expressed our surprise that, unlike many smallish wild beasts of our experience, Mr. Possum did not, upon sighting a much larger and potentially predatory moving object (i.e., us), immediately scurry away.

"Yeah," agreed Barista, "Possums are too stupid."

POSSUM YOU ARE DISGUSTING!


Honestly, though, in my experience living out here in Nowhere, those evil little predators, like foxes and possums... they're just tiny bastards. They think they can take you, or outwit you. They're like cats in their psychology: they think you're the stupid peon!

One of my city-dwelling friends asked if foxes wouldn't just run away if a farmer yelled at them to stay away from the chickens. Um. No. Nooooooo.


Hehehehehe. Posssssssssssuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum.

Possums are very mean, too. So don't try to pet him.
