There's a skunk who seems to like the corner of my house underneath my bed room .

He usually shows up around 02:00 , I've closed up all the vents etc. but he still spends time out side the bedroom window, last night it was hot to I had the window open and a fan across he house drawing out all the stale hot air, I noticed the damn skunk smell, eventually I drifted back to sleep and when I awoke again @ 04:00 the smell was gone .

Years ago the wife went out the patio door at night and stepped on a skunk. There was quite a smell that walked back in. People are funny at times. She asked did he get me?

Sense of humor!

My only close up experience with as Skunk was a dead one. When I was in the Boy Scouts we sometimes camped at Camp Pendelton (the Marine Base).

Not sure why there was a Flag Pole out in the middle of a dirt training area but the Marines had run a dead Skunk up the Flag Pole.

Myself and another scout had gotten into some minor trouble and were detailed to remove the Skunk and bury it.

There was no issues cutting the Skunk off the flag pole rope and using some sticks to get him into the hole but the other scout decided to throw a rock at it while it was in the hole. That of course started it stinking that skunk spry smell.

Neither of us got any on us but it made filling in the hole less fun.

I don't mind how Possums, Rats or Snakes for that matter look. But it is clear that the Possums have a whole bunch of teeth.

I don't know if you remember the past controversy about the clubbing to death of Harp Seals? There was a 15 minute segment on TV about it and the commenter had a good point when he said that no one would care of Harp Seals were clubbed to death if Harp Seals looked like Cockroaches.

He said the objection to killing the Harp Seals is that they have a cuteness to them that many Animals have when they are young. Like was mentioned that Possums look cute when they are little.

Always have that Official Boy Scout Pocket knife or some other knife with you at all times it is practical to do so; even more important if you are camping.

I hate not being able to take my Pocket knife with me on flights and so on.

I have a pocket knife with me nearly all the time except when sleeping or in the shower.

Knife story: I bought a Girl I was dating who was going camping with her friends a Swiss version of the 4 bladed scout type pocket knife (spear point blade, screwdriver bottle opener, can opener and leather awl blades).

While she was camping she had a bowel movement so urgent she took the knife and cut here belt to get her pants off to prevent from going in her pants.

You sure that it's not some guy smoking some dank AF marijuana in the middle of the night?
That smell of skunk tends to linger even after a skunk leaves, marijuana smoke doesn't.

I used to find the smell of skunks repulsive. After years of herb consumption, I now find it immensely enjoyable.

It's like nasal beer. You learn to like it

Oh and you can still get mail order chicks (from your first page post). Here are a few websites:

Trust me, I know the difference between 'skunk weed' and what a real live skunk under the house smells like .

Back in the 1970's my business partner peddled a bit of weed on the side and often toked up after closing time or whatever, there were several bales that came from that WWII Bomber that splashed in Lake mead and others that came out of the Pacific Ocean....

The old dayze of Air Cooled VW's always had interesting stories .

Anyway, I always carried a knife as a child, in 1969 I went to Mexico and bought a $5 Italian switchblade, it was really handy because when you're a Field Mechanic you often need a knife and have greasy, oily hands, unable to pry open that old Barlow knife I loved so much, the switchblade was sharpened more than proper I suppose but it severed me well for a few decades .

I don't recall it ever cutting me .
