Was walking along one day and found a dead pposum squashed flat on the road. SOme lazy some bitt painted a strip right over the poor critter. Anyhow, tied to the left rear paw was a string leading off to the side of the road. So, naturally I followed the string off into the woods for a couple hundred yards. That little bastard really did have quite an imagination for travel. Over and under crap for what seemed like forever. At one point I thought I had lost thetrail. Then just caught site of the string leading out of the crik on the other side. Dam that water was cold...and deep too. Didn't know opposums swam? Me either. Now I do though. Reminds me of the time when I was a boy, I was once ya know. Got chased by an armadillo into a prickly pear cactus. Does anybody actually read this thread? Same place as everyone else, DUH.
