Groundhog, Interrupted

Outside the front door at the corner of the house where the groundhogs live, I planted a sonar spike which beeps every 30 seconds. It needs to be recharged in the sun every few days. I hope this will scare them away, but also I put some poison bait out -- some cubes that are actually meant for mice but maybe they'll work. I'll try several more things too, but not fumigation since it may leak into the house.

One of the babies was trying his teeth on the front steps today. If I were a furrier I'd be really after those pelts, they're nice.

I nervously keep checking email for possible sales; otherwise the news is too much in my line of sight. Kim Jong Un reminds me of my groundhogs, all fat and velvety. I also find myself liking his long black jacket. Trump simply looks swollen and dropsical.

please look into a non lethal solution for getting rid of the groundhogs. are they destructive. can't you live and let live? If not, then please find another way.

I posted about MIA: Squirrels on the local Facebook group, and most agreed they have a lot fewer of at least three of the four types of usual squirrels around here. Either increased predators or a disease like mange has depleted the populations. They'll probably be back, but it's very quiet without them.

I think the wily Asian came out ahead of Trump propaganda wise. He got to be treated like a rock star. Nothing was really accomplished with no verifications and no inspections but Trump's base is going to be joyful.
Trump does look bloated and nasty.

Yep, I don't like that Trump thinks he's gotten somewhere.

That reminds me: we don't have any squirrels around here this year. No tree squirrels or ground squirrels. Saw one chipmunk the other day, but there should be more. And we're not seeing foxes or other predators - I'm wondering if there was some disease that got to the squirrels similar to a few years ago mange killed a lot of the foxes.

That's sad when the local wildlife is being depleted. Maybe the far-off wildfires are driving them in one direction or other?

Wonder how much his (Trump's) is worth? More than a Groundhog's pelt?

It could be the new miracle car chamois.
