Charge $1 each for them. The bullshit of privatizing profit and socializing cost is garbage; literally. You get a straw whether you want one or not, sometimes even after specifying you don't, and it ends up on the ground for everyone else to deal with. At $1/each, they won't be blithely spread...

Straws are a frivolous waste of resources. So women don't smudge their lipstick. Since I'm not a woman(or wear lipstick I guess), I don't use straws. The fuel tank on my saw is a better use of petrol.

I was gonna make a joke, and ask if they counted her rings, but... "the lab uses a process called “cementum annuli aging” that analyzes rings in teeth to accurately measure age." :^D

I get a couple mice per season. They come in when the temps drop. My current two kittiots don't have run of the house, so it makes me wonder what I'm missing. Haven't seen any mice, but it doesn't mean they aren't there. Spot does a good job outside catching mice. Maybe she's getting them before...

That's pretty cool. They're much more attractive than white rats, but their tails still weird me out a little :^D

Tree rat!

Not that I recall.

Regarding the water bowl. I just watched a squirrel slowly make it's way towards the bowl. Hop, hop, hop; stand up to see if it's clear. Do that three more times, then "Holy Shit! The cat's over there eating!", and it bolts. Spot takes notice of it, stops eating and goes over to the water bowl...

I've never seen a weasel. I don't know if we have them here.

I didn't take pics cause everyone knows what a possum looks like, but they're remarkably unconcerned with humans. I heard crunching in the leaves outside, and got up with my flashlight to see what it was. Open the door, shine my light, and a possum is poking around in the leaves looking for...

I read an article on people in the UK building hedgehog highways. This isn't the article, but it gives the reason why... https://theconversation.com/hedgehog-highways-what-are-they-and-how-to-help-build-one-177785

Too bad they don't keep their spots. That's a good looking coat.

The stages of an Osprey as it dives into the water to hunt.

I heard you should take them in the direction they were heading or they'll head back. Turtles are cool interesting critters. I always felt especially bad for them on land clearing jobs. They have zero chance of getting away when the machines roll in. Find their shattered shells after it was...

I was looking at Blackie sitting in the grass, and saw something move by him. My first thought was a bunny he caught, but he's not a hunter. He's scared of me, so I figured it would be an easy save. I went out to get the critter. We grow our bunnies a little different out this way. I think it'll...

Bastards were eating my clover :^D There were two of them... That wasn't unexpected. When I bought some seed last year, another customer in the shop asked if I was using it to bait deer. If the clover keeps them from eating my chestnut seedling, it'll be money well spent.

What kind of snake?

I've never had wild turkey(aside from whiskey! :^D ). That's something I'd like to try. "Not like a Butterball" is a good start.
