My Crazy Area [Northern Westchester County]

This is in Barrie, Ontario. :grin:

It looks like a Benny Hill video, but the background music is all wrong.

I’m really asking for trouble, but the wildlife seems satiated recently. Of course, the foxes did get a couple of our ducks in the past year, so maybe they’re satisfied.

I’ve seen the chipmunks and groundhogs back, and woodpeckers have been attacking our house. I haven’t smelled too much dead skunk so far, and the dead deer have been about on par with prior years. We’ve had some bear sightings. No moose (I think.)

But I think the animals have plenty to eat… which makes me think we’ll have too many next year, dammit.

Looking up an address for a party I’m going to tonight in my town, I noticed some smartass added a local notable spot in google maps:

Those Damn Episcopals!

Why are they always defacing maps with the location of their cockamamy churches?!?!?!

evidently Westchester has a song

This isn’t Westchester, but it isn’t that far away:

It’s mainly that I wonder where the head is.

And it reminds me of my grandma, as she used to tell me stories all the time that often ended “…and they never did find the head.”

From the local facebook group:

A woman from Ridgefield just stopped at the end of my driveway to ask if I have seen her missing Iguana. Supposedly someone one the Ridgefield page sited the Iguana at the intersection of June/Titicus crossing the road on Friday afternoon. If anyone sees an Iguana message me for her contact information. I also told her to post here but twice can’t hurt 😉

Ridgefield is CT, but still.

That iguana is hanging out with the wombat.

The comments on the thread are cracking me up… the people know that iguana is probably dead. With the wombat, at least it was a mammal, so -maybe- it could keep warm… but also the folks lived in our town, so it’s not like people wanted to say to their face – first, you probably shouldn’t be keeping wild animals from the other side of the world as pets; second, Indy is long dead

IFYP :tfh: :kangaroo:

if the iguana is by miracle still alive the next 3 days will kill it. unless it has moved into a semi-heated (or better) garage.

Or moved to a secret, underground lair somewhere near IBM headquarters in Armonk, NY housing a cybernetically enhanced wallaby assembling a crew of super-powered virus monkeys, llamas, moose, capybaras, orangutans, fruit bats, stoats, etc to take over and enslave mankind.

It could happen. :man_shrugging: :tfh:

This degree of certitude … seems like there might be something to look into here…

Like Jon Snow, I know nothing.

Local coyotes, having worked through wallabies, virus monkeys, llamas, moose, and more, now have a taste for human flesh:

Also, near the entrance of my neighborhood, on the side of 22/201, I saw a headless deer. I’m not going to walk over there, but it looked very odd. Usually, with dead deer on the side of the state road, the head is still attached.

All I will say is that I’m happy I’ve got my rabies shots.

Those f*ckers are expensive.

Well, I would rather pay for the shots than get rabies (we had a run-in with a bat in our house while we were sleeping… it was a family bonding experience!)

So yeah, this was a post-exposure course of shots. Not only is it expensive, it is PAINFUL. And takes several weeks.

Headless deer, headless body in the trunk, Richard Gere…

Too many freaky things happening in your town!!! :tfh: :fearful:

I also had a run in with a bat. I found the shots themselves to be nbd, but price tag and arranging to complete the series thru the pharmacy instead of multiple trips to the ED was far less pleasant. But the not dying from rabies part was preferable than playing rabies roulette.
