It's A Monday

[chris_gerrib]

Funny how these Mondays roll in every seven days or so. The heat wave has broken, and as one of the TV weathermen said, we can now "expect seasonable temperatures, remembering what season we're in." So, the AC is on during the day, but at least it's not running on overdrive.

My war with the skunks continues. Per the advice of the critter remover, I (carefully) filled in their hole yesterday, and as of this morning I didn't see it re-opened. Maybe they have multiple holes, and migrate around the area? The depths of my ignorance of skunk behavior is profound.

My parents were out of town last week, attending an Elks convention and otherwise being tourists. They are now due back later today or this evening. Since the convention was in Austin and they also visited San Antonio, I will need to stop by and visit with them to get the advance scoop for my upcoming Texas vacation.

I think that's all the news I have, and probably a lot more than you care to read ;-)

Yes, they do have several holes, else they'd be trapped by a cat or whatnot lying in wait above. Plus, it rains, and if they're at the bottom of a hole with but one exit they might drown.

I recommend getting some leftover 4th of July fireworks, static display types that generate a lot of smoke, and (carefully, obviously) setting one within that known hole and see what comes out where.

I'll let my professional skunk-trapper do this, thanks. ;-)
