IT'S COMING

I hear from Those Who Know that the armadillo has made an appearance in JeffCo, IL. Now that's not good news for MTV folks. The armor plated guy is just a no good.

Much like groundhogs. They can't even predict the weather on the one day that anyone gives much thought about them. Unless you happen to live by a woods and chase those crazy things from away from your house. They and the armadillo are unworthy denizens to a community.

Now how to get rid of them. Well, I might as well end my missive now. Because I certainly have no answer. Well, as you know by now, I have one; I'm just building to a crescendo.

My answer came to me from our pool maintenance guy. I give him golf balls that have seen better days. He especially likes the ones of color. He lines them up and shoots a rifle at them, improving his skills. So how does that give you an answer. Hey, crescendo building takes awhile.

A few weeks ago, my yellow rubber-looking but 100% plastic ducky that holds the chlorine for the pool, bit the dust. Chlorine is like that eating away at plastic. My pool guy enthusiastically said he would throw him away for me.

After he left, I check the garbage can outside where he dumps the leaves and junk that falls into the pool. No ducky. Now you and I know that the duck became target practice. A larger target than golf balls, but just as colorful.

Now wasn't the build up worth it?

I'll leave the armadillo specifics up to you loyal reader(s). But don't forget to include the groundhogs, too. Not the little ones--just the ugly big ones. After all, I am a compassionate guy. I checked on my ducky didn't I?
