ooh. gross.

I went to town to help with the children's summer library program, and when I came back the possum was still there, a little fatter and more "fly-blown," as one says

You're trying to prevent something from dragging the corpse away? ;-)

[jackiejj]

Yeah, because if it dumps the possum under the privet, how can I be sure if I wasn't watching? And by tomorrow the entire county will reek.

I must be vigilant until they arrive with their bag and shovel.

For certain I do not feel sorry for them. They could have come during the dewy dawn when I first called and avoided much unpleasantness...

I think I mentioned the rat I found on my patio on Memorial Day. I threw it into the ruellia. But I'm planning to do a Body Farm experiment on it and check on it from time to time...

I have long decided that probably my body will be discovered when the vultures have surrounded my house.

You are intrepid!

Did you know we have a world-famous body farm over at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville? Lots of bodies in various stages of decay are lying about and being researched.

Yep. I can deal with a dead rat a lot easier than a lot of dead humans.
