The kudzu thread was killed in it infancy.
graywarrior

texanwitch
(18,705 posts)Never be one like it again.
It was so funny.
Funny thing something did die under my house and I don't know what it was.
What is left of it smells terrible.
I don't know how big it was but it does smell now.
I have to burn a strong candle back there.
All I can tell you is that it had fur.
I am not getting any closer until the smell goes away.
graywarrior
(59,440 posts)texanwitch
(18,705 posts)I don't know how it got into the yard.
It had to climb the fence.
And get past the dogs.
It just stinks back there.
It is bare wood back there, old wood from the 40's.
It seems to be soaking up the smell.
I rather go out the front door and walk around then go out the back door.
This is the second week, the smell is getting less.
I am thankful it is cool now, the heat would really have made it smell.

(59,440 posts)A few months ago, we were videoing a few tv spots in our studio which is on the top floor of an old building. The host was in the middle as asking the guest a question when we heard something scamper across the ceiling. It sounded like it weighed 25 lbs. For the rest of the afternoon, it kept running back and forth freaking out the guests. When we were done, we went into the other part of the top floor which is kinda like an attic. We couldn't find anything. We never heard it again. The building manager had just hired a company to seal all the holes in the roof and sidings. We're thinking it was a ghost raccoon and that it's coming back to get us.
texanwitch
(18,705 posts)Raccoons can get big.
I see a mama raccoon and two babies at night sometimes.
I don't want to think what is under the house.

(18,705 posts)It is like listening to old radio shows from the 30's and 40's.

(53,339 posts)To find out if he's seen Oscar lately...
texanwitch
(18,705 posts)I do live near a bayou and a very large city park.
Lots of animals live in the park.
There is a large section of woods behind the railroad yard, small animals use to live there.
Oscar could live there and no one would know.
graywarrior
(59,440 posts)texanwitch
(18,705 posts)I often wondered if raccoons and rats could breed.
Just think of that.
Big rats with hands.
graywarrior
(59,440 posts)Not sure about raccoons.
texanwitch
(18,705 posts)Rats take care of each other.

graywarrior

(18,705 posts)It still smells a little.
I will have to paint the boards in the back hall way now to get rid of the smell.
graywarrior
(59,440 posts)texanwitch
(18,705 posts)The house has no subfloor just the floor.
Nothing between me and the smell but one thin layer of 1940's floor boards.
Great wood, looks new but still one thin layer.
I will buy some Fabreze on the way to Early Voting, hope it helps.
graywarrior
(59,440 posts)texanwitch
(18,705 posts)I think paint will help.
Before I paint I will have to sand, what a joy.
Something rather large died until the house, the dogs will not get close.
Poor thing, whatever it was.

(53,339 posts)Today's forecast for the North L.A. County high desert is high 81, low 46.
Received my CA Vote by Mail ballot yesterday, will mail it in tomorrow. Need to look again at the Dem Party and labor and progressive org recs for some downballot races (local hospital board???). Will be phone banking at our local OFA ofice today, and someone there may have more info on our very local ballot items.
I think I'll skip The Walking Dead. I haven't watched anything with zombies for a loooong time--until I saw the remake of Night of the Living Dead last night. I think I'm good on zombies for a while...
Looking forward to hearing how your early voting went.
texanwitch
(18,705 posts)I have worked enough early voting to know that 5 to 6 on a sunday is a really quiet time.
I wished I was working it, I miss it.
It is so much fun, I like the people I work with.
Some things came up and I had miss it this year.
Maybe next year.
I usually work at a very busy location, I miss the action.
I think everyone should work at least one election.
The Walking Dead is really good, not your typical zombie show.
I didn't like zombie movies until this show.
It is bloody, but that is what a zombie world would be like.
I picked a time to end this because of Hurricane Sandy, people need time to get ready.
Hope you win tonight.
texanwitch
(18,705 posts)I will be leaving soon for the grocery store and early voting.
