so, some of you recall my past blogs about the hawk killing the pigeon, the baby crow (RIP) and the mama and baby raccoons all in my little backyard making for a little ignatius wildlife refuge.
yesterday i did some yard work and started in on the english ivy thats on one side of the fence. i hate the ivy. it grows like a mutated anime character consuming tokyo and i fear it will consume everything and i'll end up narrowly escaping with my life and then selling the rights to the story to steven king to write a screen play. so, the ivy wil be gone soon. i decided to just run over big patches of it w/the lawnmower set to mulch so that tomorrow or the next day when i go searching for the main roots of the mess it will be easier and as a bonus i'll have less to bag and dispose of.
this morning i'm having some coffee and i look out there and the squirrels are in a frenzy. oops. what'd i do? someone in the neighborhood leaves walnuts out for the squirrels which they bury all over the place and lots of them in my yard and lots of them in my much hated ivy. i knew that i was shredding some of their stash when mulching the ivy (new song title?) but had no idea they would all go bonkers and give me the evil eye and chatter up a storm and spell out WTF? on my yard in crushed walnut shells (this didn't happen but i imagined it!).
i'm sure they get just as pissed when the raccoons find their walnuts at night and eat them and then the next day a hungry squirrel wanders the yard looking for an unmolested nut stash hole (that sounds bad) only to find raccoon paws have scratched them all up.
I'm waiting for the showdown. squirrels vs. raccoons. the deciding factor will be which side the cats take. I know the hawks will sit this out. they can fly. fucking ay. i'd be indifferent to a battle among 4 legged creatures too if i could fly.
2 pics. 1 bewildered squirrel and one of the mulched ivy.. or part of it. you can see part of the fence covered in it.

Yes, I've seen the rats of NIMH.
But, the Rats of the National Institute of Mental Health are probably drug addled, torture-crazed mutant super rats... and in a battle royale I always put my money on the super mutants.

mlbot.. have you ever heard henry rollins' spoken word thing "the boxed life"??? there's as story he tells about working at some giant lab full of rats and bunnies and being the guy who cleans the shit out of the cages etc and how one day the rats got contaminated by something and start dying and so they had to kill all of the rats and he got put in charge of that.
they got big thick vinyl trash bags. would smack the rat.. drop it in the bag and pump it full of gas (CO2???) and the rats would suffocate and all leap to the top of the bag at the same moment in a gasp and then die and then void they're bodies of poop and piss then the bag would get tied off and thrown into a pile of other bags then get incinerated. he tells it w/lot's more detail and more stories weaved into it about the one black guy who works there and racism and delivering animals to different labs and those labs getting infected w/the same thing and their animals dying etc...etc. it's a great story and totally fucked up and sort of the punch line is when he goes to kill the last rat and it's the biggest toughest meanest rat ever and delivers some payback and gets away.
