The McKee family, which founded and owns the company that makes these snacks, threatened to leave Hamilton County a few years back when there was talk of possibly expanding a nearby landfill. Needless to say, they pay enough taxes and provide enough employment that the landfill was closed and another was opened elsewhere in the county. Quote

No, I don’t believe it’s rabid. My wife had left out some food for a neighborhood cat and he didn’t show up that day. Last year a whole family showed up and when I went to get my camera they had disappeared. Where we live we have rabbits, raccoons, foxes and possums. Quote

When I lived in NJ (Medford), we would often get raccoons very close to our home. More than once I went to take the trash out and found one inside of our trash bin, lid closed behind it, snarling at me as if I'd disturbed it's buffet dinner. Had to take the bin out to the driveway and set it down on its side and lift the lid and let the raccoon run off, still mad at me. It makes sense to me that they'd be scavenging that close to your window, given the food left out for cats. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 18 Posted June 18 (edited) Racoons are one of the animals I haven't seen out here in my rural area. I saw them last in Austin, a family was living under a neighbor's house there. Quite a story bout their removal that I will spare the forum. I have heard coyotes but only seen one in 12 years. Deer, unusually more now than normal. Foxes, yes, ground hogs yes, think what I saw twice was a badger, not sure. Eagles, hawks, buzzards, geese, owls, woodpeckers a plenty, hear and see more turkeys than I ever expected to. People in neighboring areas have reported bear activity. Apparently about 20 years ago there were some in the wildlife preserve across the street, oddly sighted the same year that was a huge population of turtles in the lake down the hill from us. . . but neither bear nor lots of turtles here since.

Brad Posted June 18 Posted June 18 From the same visit. I was surprised to see him when it was light out (around 8pm). Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 22 Posted June 22 I stopped bringing our (then young) daughters to these portable fair rides after reading several stories of their lack of safety inspections, causing several accidents, a few resulting in dead children. But that was a long time ago... I would hope these days they are safer. Quote

They hold it at the town park where I go for breakfast and walk in the morning. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Chipmunks are all over our property again. . . which means an owl will probably return to claim this property as happens periodcially. A good thing--I really like owls around. Quote
