Get some flex pipe , hook it up to the lawn mower or your car, put the pipe
in the tunnel and let it run for 20 min.or 30 etc. usually will kill out the
entire colony.

Wasn't much of a fall she bounces well...
I have checked rental cars from a few places and hotwire but they
aren't any cheaper and they are all far from the hotel and without a car to
get to the car rental place.... When we go on a trip of our own we will go
into spartanburg as hotels and rental cars are way cheaper. This trip isn't
bad since the hotel is free. She got two trips this month that are one leg
there and back. The hotel has a company pick up the crew from the airport.
The hotel is pretty nice and next to the expensive mall with Tiffany, Gucchi
and has a couple Maseratis in the mall (The new cheap one that looks like a
big buick)
As for the Pocket gophers I wish they ate bugs. They are
herbivores and eat tubers and tree and bush roots. Need to kill them off
before they start to girdle the trees and kill them. After talking to
several control guys they agree with what i have read and the only thing
that works is traps and you need to put 15-20 in the tunnels everywhere.
They also said the shooting method is the best if you can catch them. They
make tunnels about 2.5-3" in diameter and the gophers are about 12-14" long
full grown.
Our cats were all nutz this morning. Everyone chasing and running
all over. They really liked the weather this morning but we were in the 60s
with near 90% humidity.

oh, dear. Is Geri okay? That slipping and falling on the ice can be a life

You might check somewhere else for a rental car - my guess is the hotel is
taking a big cut.
82* I remember that. It's 40ish, exceptionally wet (we are drowning in our
drought). We had 2 1/2" of rain Sunday, an inch on Monday and 1 1/3
yesterday. Sprinkly today.
The gophers aerate the soil and eat bugs. Not worth it.
Our perfect dog had an implosion yesterday. In about 45 minutes he strewed
the garbage through the dining room, kitchen, eating area and family room.
Either before or after that he did some counter surfing and had 4 apple
turnovers fresh from the bakery and a pound of twizzlers. We were upstairs
and didn't hear a thing. We found him sitting in his bed with the remains
of bright red and yellow chip bags everywhere. ("It was a tornado, I
swear!") Wasn't messy garbage, mostly packaging. So hard to yell at him
and laugh at the same time.
car content - replaced a light bulb in the jeep.

Geri was in Charlotte last weekend and there was a good bit of ice on the
sidewalks and she slipped on the sidewalk at the mall next to the hotel. I
was going to go with her but the flight back showed overbooked by a bunch
but it ended up having 20 empty seats on it... But she has the same trip
this week so we are going to rent a car sat morning and drive around and
check the area out. She has a couple houses she wants to stop and look at.
Luckily the doubletree suites has a Hertz counter in the lobby. Only bad
part is that rental cars are twice what I pay at most any other city. Their
rental car taxes must be quite high.
Oh and we were 82* yesterday and the day before was very nice at 72*
and 20% humidity. We only see air that dry maybe 6 days in the year. Was
perfect all day. Course back to 60s today and 86% humidity.
And for varmits... I was siting outside last night and the gopher
was clearing dirt out of a hole about 3' away from the chair. I wish I had a
.22 at that time. They are getting really bad lately doing allot of damage.
They do nothing beneficial at all.

oh, that's a funny story. When we moved here we bought a .22 because of
varmints. Then Dan was sitting out on the porch reading, and looked up just
in time to see a small black bear amble across the lawn in from of him. We
looked at the bear, looked at the .22 and laughed. We also had a
neighborhood cougar for awhile.
I have my dad's guns and when I was little my dad's idea of father/daughter
time was to take me to the police shooting range with him. No big deal,
Frank.
There's two cars in the ditch in front of my house both abandoned. They
really have no clue how to drive on snow.
No guns in this house. We don't need guns.
