Alan Reynolds was offended but that's just Alan. He cries when a bird flies
into his window. LOL
I used to compost the raccoons & squirrels on the edge of the patch then
turn them in the following season.
We're at the top of the food chain for a damn good reason & I have no
intention of giving that pole position to a pumpkin killing varmint.
Don't worry about Alan. We're good friends but I'll stand up to him any day.
LOL
