I was trimming some shrubs which were rubbing against a window frame

needs to be painted, and I think I discovered where my local skunk
lives -
the one that scoots behind those bushes when I pull into the driveway
late
at night. There's a 12" diameter hole in the ground.

Anybody want to lay odds on the chances of that skunk getting annoyed if
I'm
clambering around its hole in the middle of the day?

Or, does anyone have several excellent recipes involving tomato juice, in
case I do NOT end up needing a bath and this paint job is done? How many
bloody marys can one person drink before the juice expires...15 cans of
it.


There was a PBS show about skunks where a woman authority on skunks,
said the best way to get rid of them is to place a Boom Box at the
enterance



While doing other things, I've been wondering who I know with a boom box.
Then it dawned on me that I play bass guitar. It's not like a needed
reminding. I practice nightly, and play in a band 3-5 times a month. The
skunk hole is 2 feet from the house, outside the room where I practice. All
I need to do is move the amplifier...

I need more sleep.
