COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

Here is some words of wisdom for your hump day!
Before you condemn someone. Walk a mile in their shoes.
That way you will be a mile away from them and you will have their shoes!?

I'll have to carry a roll of TP so I can fill em...great advice though.??

Third hot and muggy day.?
Last night was horrible outside. I put a small fan on Opo it was so hot and muggy last night. Rose woke up this morning with Opo all stretched in front of the fan. He didn't even want to eat for awhile.

Goes to show it's not just cats that find a fan to sprawl in front of, when it's hot and muggy!

Ray Ray Ray! You really think Mr Opo needed a fan? How hot was it? Hopefully you have your Kane mat turned down!

Getting more muggy here today, worse forecast for the weekend. Calling for ”feels like days“ near 100. Just had a massive thundershower. Rain barrel all full.

It was 92° felt like 108° today. Opo just went back to his fan.

Haven't had the Kane mat plugged in for about 5 days. Have the usual afternoon storm coming in right now.

Wow! I didnt realize Florida had Armadillos! Cool!

Welder isn't a bad one... I visited a project at Kennedy Space Center a few years back, and the people in the project basically said that there were plenty of eggheads around to design stuff, but what they were in dire need of were people who could actually put things together. That was about five years ago, and a welder right out of vocational school could have been making $80K a year there.

Wow I will keep that in mind

No, not cool... Nuisance. And they can carry leprosy. The state department of health had to put out a notice a few years ago telling people not to play with them. Because they (sometimes) carry leprosy.

Incidentally, they're susceptible to foot-and-mouth disease, too.

Granted, we wouldn't have to worry about @Maro2Bear playing with armadillos. He'd just shoot them... With a camera.

You certain about the leprosy? I don’t think the US has many Leprosy cases, do we?

Leprosy is not very contagious. You can't catch it by touching someone who has the disease. Most cases of leprosy are from long-term contact with someone who has the disease. Doctors believe that leprosy might be passed from person to person. (Hmmmmm, COVID-22 )

 

[Ray--Opo]

There was 3 of them actually. They where little guys maybe 8" long not counting the tail.

Definitely yes on the leprosy. They say the ringed tail carry it most often. It is also called Hansen disease.

Well, humans aren't supposed to have direct touchy feely contact with armadillos, but common sense isn't as common as it sounds...

There's cats here that eat my backyard birds and walk dirty cat prints on my Camaro, crap in my gardens, so after I speak to the cat owner and they keep allowing the cat to be outside and annoy me. I set a live trap and take the cat for a road trip. This is what I caught last night. I think it must be pretty young as he's just not as big as what I have caught before
