Fat guy who is of dubious authenticity stopped by to deposit a D3100 docking station and associated DP to HDMI connectors and a sweet 27in monitor for the expanation and completion of my Wfh I dont want covid a 3rd time office fortress.
And a few other cool things?ÿ too like one of those multi sockets for anything and thus and such.....
Mrs. Cow, the English teacher, would give you a C+.
"the expanation and completion of my Wfh"

My OCD requires me to keep track of odd things like counting my steps as I walk and marking the sun's shadow on the concrete patio at the solstice.
I have four dogs.?ÿ I accompany them a lot on their outdoor activities. With the aforementioned OCD I keep track of their 'daily habits'.?ÿ I can report with specificity that the quad-fecta you show has a less than 1% chance of occurring at any given time.
I refer to it a 'poopfest' around here.?ÿ
Mrs. HC (aka SWMBOAWD),
In my haste, and late night haze even,
Mr. HC did in fact point out a few grammar issues with my response. For these I apologize, solely based upon my speed at which I was attempting to type, and the minute and difficult to target digitally represented keys displayed in my tiny phone screen.
A pox upon me.

Things my wife and kids got me this year.?ÿ
I think Santa got me confused with the Clampetts.
On Christmas morning I find: 1 dead possum in font of house (biggin), sent futher South, because as Jed says ''Possum innards?ÿare just as good the second day''
?ÿ
I wonder if Dead Possum is the same as coal in stocking?
Hauled off my seventh possum in seven weeks an hour ago.?ÿ The wife thinks it's the same one every time because who, other than a mama possum, can tell one possum from another.?ÿ I believe they are born as identical octuplets to begin with.?ÿ As far as I have hauled them from home before "freeing" them if it was the same one it would have stubs for legs by now.
Spray a spot of paint on the back of the next one, to prove to her that they are different animals.
Number eight took a one-way ride a bit ago.
Fact number 13 will amaze you.?ÿ ?ÿ https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/544902/facts-about-opossums
This is why they are so common.?ÿ
After a?ÿgestation?ÿof just 12 to 13 days, female?ÿopossums, called jills, give birth to up to 20 live young at a time. The babies, called joeys, are about the size of jelly beans when they are born. They immediately crawl into the mother's pouch to continue developing.
I swear there is something that always has identical octuplets.?ÿ Apparently it is not a possum.?ÿ Edit:?ÿ Found the answer and it is only quadruplets............Nine-banded?ÿarmadillos?ÿhave four identical pups of the same gender in every litter,

All those factoids did little to change my opinion on 'possums.?ÿ I don't know about other locales, but the photos in your link don't bear much resemblance to the critters around here.?ÿ They're grubby and scraggly and look like hell.?ÿ I'm thinking the photos are images of someone's pet.
And I will argue about how smart they are.?ÿ It took a good seven or eight roundhouse blows with a garden hoe for me to convince a 'possum (at 2 AM) that the top of my fence wasn't a good spot for him to linger.?ÿ Four very loud and blood thirsty dogs awaited his descent, but fortunately the hoe and I got him to fall the other direction.
And just so you don't turn me in to PETA, the critter was still ambulatory after he fell from the fence.?ÿ Although I'm pretty sure he had a headache for a day or two.

@paden-cash Back when I was in high school one of favorite pastimes was possum catching (yeah I know, us country boys had to make our own fun).?ÿ We'd drive around 2-300 acres peanut fields at night with a spot light.?ÿ If we could see one out?ÿ in the field one of us would jump out and chase it down.?ÿ They run with their tails up so if you run by you can grab them by the tail and lift them up.?ÿ There was a family near us that would buy them for a quarter each as long as they were alive.?ÿ One night I cornered a raccoon in the yard and got him into a 55 gallon drum.?ÿ I was going to save him for the same family.?ÿ The next night I caught a possum and dropped him into the drum with the coon.?ÿ That possum killed that coon in about 2 minutes.

Fact number 13 came as a surprise to me.?ÿ And I thought hogs were weird.
