*ahem* Some of us *are* the unrepentant royalists mentioned above. I
would have been loyal to the Sovereign in 1806, and I certainly am now.
Tomorrow, I and my compatriots celebrate the anniversary of the birth of
Queen Victoria as a national holiday.
God save King George III!
And God save our gracious Queen of Canada and the Commonwealth,
Elizabeth II, who is now in her Golden Jubilee year.
Your loyal (and Loyalist) servant,
Angela Gottfred

Angela,
In 1812 The United States and Canada weren't quite as lovey-dovey as today.
I was trying to focus the topic back on something related to history not
ideological geology.
Drink a bottle of that nicely blended Hudson's Bay Rum you've got up there
in honor of whichever of your Monarchs you most favor; for me.
John...

Possum will go for the head and neck and often eat a duck or a chicken from
the head down leaving the main body and then kill another and eat the head
and neck then kill another etc.

Thanks for the heads up... never knew such a thing existed, but leave it to
a wiry old mountain man to be informed about such a critter. I'm a thinking
it is a good thing that there is only one neighbor in the "neighborhood",
and he might even like it if some thing were to wipe out his herd... wouldn
t have to milk em again. You are a true friend for looking out for Wynn's
interests and such... especially since Nationals seems to be the only safe
place to be.

Naw.... Wynn, I'm thinking it's gotta be a Ranthepoid! (ran'-the-poy-d).
That's a big, hairy, three leggid (fourth leg has turned into a large claw)
varmint that scares ducks and folks so bad that they can't even run (or
quack). They've been know to start with ducks, then take out a whole
neighborhood! The onlyest trap that might hold em would be three #6 Newhouse
wid teeth..... but be careful of the claw.
Iffin I was you though, I'd jist forget about them ducks, grab yer bride and
yungins and head out to Nationals for some protection.

Last week my sister-in-law saw a fox try and make of with one of her ducks.
The fox snatched it up by the neck and ran off. She was able to run it down
shouting like a mad woman (which she usually is) and scare it off and save
the duck.
