Thanks for the laugh, Gene. You all should see the moles we have in my area,
in the county just east of Cincinnati. Some are about the size of a city
rat--yes, BIG! I did see the big blacksnake that lives in the ceiling of the
shed eat one a couple years ago. I now encourage that snake to hang around.
