Routine. Set a squirrel job. Bait first day, forgot the nose cones, had no luck, then put in 3 positive sets. Got a call late today. You got 2 grays, but then the lady said, "I felt bad and let them go." O.K. Told her I would come up and pick up the traps, no argument. Got there and had a third. They had seen 3. At least she asked for the bill. Just charged her the usual. Had given her a price on the 3 but reduced it for the 2, then got three after all and she wrote me a check for all three. Lets just say, a most unusual household, house falling apart, three older women living there. Whole thing just felt strange. Find a number of really run down places, possum walking through the living room several times, piles of rats. Can't believe how some people live and react to animals. Nothing is a big surprise, just roll with it.

As we come to realize, a lot of the "problems" are people problems, tough to solve to say the least, impossible really. The encounter with the squirrel ladies shows just how passionate people are with animals, letting their emotions for animals of all kinds, domestic or wild govern what to the rest of the world would seem like simple common sense. Gives insight into the thought process and what you are dealing with. When hunters try to explain what they do to a vegan, you can see why that brick wall isn't coming down.
A friend in Ohio spoke of women crying as he removed problem animals tearing up her house, amazing. No one likes to kill anything for no reason, disturb wildlife for nothing, but those kind of stories leave many wondering....
