You wanna fight? Let’s go . . .

Oh man, the shits on now. This whole “situation” has been coming to a head for a while now. We’ve been looking sideways at each other, but then he had to go and take it up a level and get physical. Okay, I’m down with that. He broke a brand new piece of equipment I’d purchased that afternoon! Damn, he wanted my attention, he’s got it now. Can’t say I didn’t see it coming though. I was standing in my back yard yelling over the fence. It went like this:

Me, “So that’s how it’s gonna play huh . . . bitch?”
Him, “#$^&*!@$” (Some garbled nasty shit I couldn’t understand)
Me, “Now that you broke my shit, you gonna stand over there like nothing’s happened?”
Him, “#$^&- *!@” (Some more garbled nasty shit I couldn’t understand)
Me, “You wanna go? Why don’t you step to it and let’s do this.”
Him, “#$^” (You get the picture)
Me, “What are ya going do, huh?” (I started to move toward him)
Him, “#$^&*!@$#$^&*!@$ . . .” (Said over his shoulder as he was running away)
Me, “I knew you were nothing . . . don’t ever fucking come back here.”

So that’s how it ended between me and the squirrel who broke my new bird feeder.

    They NEVER give up, gotta admire their tenacity. I cheaped out and bought a wire mesh peanut bird feeder. It took a little work but in a few weeks they chewed through the mesh. Went back and bought a more expensive peanut feeder with a swivel question mark shaped hook. Filled it up and they knocked it down and broke the hook off within the hour. I was gonna chuck that feeder too but decide I could fix it. I did, for $3 worth of hardware from HomeDepot. It is impregnable now . . . they have basically given up on even trying. Take that.

    Is your’s hanging from the tree? Remember Grandma and Granpa’s struggle? Anyway, their’s was on a pole and they just lubed it up with vaseline. Somehow that doesn’t sound right.

    Or when they’d throw a chicken carcass into the ravine behind the house so the “raccoon’ll get it”. Jesus.

    I was proud of my heavy duty u-bolt solution, still hanging. The squirrels come by every now and then but can’t get it. Yeaaahhhh beeeoooootttcchhh.
