Interesting night...

Question:
What do you get when you live near a forest preserve and you put out trash in a can without a lid?

Answer:
An opossum adventure.

At approximately 3:30 this morning, a band of opossum toppled the trash can and started on a trash bag. At approximately 3:45 this morning, the cats were alerted to the situation and started going crazy. At approximately 3:47 this morning, the opossum called his friends and the motion light started going on and off on and off on and off - shining directly in our window. At approximately 3:50 this morning, one opossum found the fried chicken and all hell broke loose.

Have you ever heard opossums fight? It sounds like they are ripping each other apart. And then the cats were REALLY going crazy.

We went back to sleep at about 4:30. Mike picked up quite a mess this morning. We are purchasing the world's best garbage can on our way home tonight.

Home ownership is fun!
