Possum


Six or so months ago, an opossum took up residence either in our yard or somewhere nearby. We see it regularly at night waddling around in the back yard. We have no idea exactly where it lives and don't much care.

Last year at this time, just as the Willamette Valley is emerging from its winter torpor, we were overrun by slugs. This year we have none. There must be a down side to having an opossum in residence, but I don't know what it is.
