What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
Weather has been pretty normal here in New England, but the incredible volume of squirrels, chipmunks and mice running around, gathering food and being squashed by cars is nothing I've ever seen before.
Some say animals can sense things before humans, but this is VERY odd. Almost like they are preparing (hoarding) supplies for something. 🤷♂️
I miss new england weather this time of year.
Figgity fuck it's too damn hot down here.
I'll never get used to it.
Yes, Spring time in NE is nice.
When the snow covers the woods behind my house it's really pretty, but with heating oil at $5.18 a gallon it's almost $1,300 a month to fill it in the winter. 😭🤬
That I don't miss.
Two years ago there was a horrendous mouse proliferation in the Adirondacks. I was trapping four to five mice a day in a small cabin. My friends put out a sticky trap and got fourteen, then another fourteen the next day. The guy at ACE hardware said he was selling $100 in mice traps A DAY! it was awful. This year, nothing. great.
Maybe it comes in cycles like the cicadas. It's downright silly here, you can't go 100 feet down my road without seeing a small animal corpse.
The mice are in my cars, my tractor, the shed, the kids sandbox and they really love the chicken coop since they use the feathers as bedding. I'm emptying my traps nearly every day.
