    Feels hotter than that.. it is hot. We had a cloud form to the south it looked like and felt like we were going to get rain. That didn't last long the wind blew it north. Back to square one.

    Then you get that stifling humidity. The "I can't breathe" humidity.

    Who knows what to believe. There were 210 positives a day when we closed in March. There are 500+ positives a day now, but we're reopening. WTF?

    We're into the 'too hot for humidity' phase of summer. Takes your breath away when you step outside. HOT!

    What part of shifting or manipulating Covid-19 numbers { Data }
    is not understandable.
    How about the entire ball of wax.
    It's like having a DNC Convention in a Funny House.
    Or better still a Wax Museum.

    If I was a kid in a state that was allowing kids to go back to school, I would start coughing now.

    My friend tried to trap a groundhog to take it for a one way ride. He tried mothballs. Nothing worked.
    I'm looking in the groundhog hole and said, you know what your dad would do, right? He goes and gets this flexible tubing. Drove his car over the lawn and shoved the tube in the hole and on the tailpipe and started the car.
    How close can you get the car to the deck? Lol

    I tried everything on moles... including the exhaust pipe down the hole.. the only thing that worked was posion.
    Back from picking up the grandchildren.. I'll just say, flying was a particularly vicious form of hell.

    Call ACME for the raptors.
    They carry all the right gear.

    I have a cat that gets rid of the moles in no time. He has left presents on the patio of dead moles. I did notice one thing about moles they have cute feet and pretty soft fur that is the only thing endearing about them.

    The critter has a tunnel that takes him over by the woods in the gully (swale, to some)so who knows where else he has emergency exits. The little vermin.

    We had skunks under the front porch. We tried everything to get the skunk to move on. Mothballs, the garden hose, the trap. Nothing worked. I called around for ideas and spoke to a guy who removed squirrels and skunks. He wanted $100 a skunk. At that point I knew the skunk either needed to move on or die. So I said to the guy, does Decon kill skunks because Im gonna make a Decon Meatball and give it its last meal. The guy flipped out. "You cant kill wildlife. Its a crime." Im listening thinking call in the swat team because this skunk is gonna die.

    Before I made the Decon Meatball I tried one more time to get rid of it so it could live. I hid in a corner of the porch with the hose ready to blast the hell out of the skunk when it came out at dusk. Thinking Im going to firehose this thing so it never wants to come back. The skunk comes out. I get up and spray the hell out of it to the point it flipped over and I could see its butt. A skunks butthole is pink by the way. The skunk comes back and starts this odd chirping noise. Then a bunch of little skunks come out in a line and followed mom. We dug in some screening around the porch skirt and never had a problem again.
