Sorry I didn't reply last Sunday. Had to clean the house. This reply won't be as good as the one I accidentally deleted either. I really hate when I have to re-write something because it never feels as good.
Remember when I said I went out to get tomatoes and the smoke was getting worse, eyes burning? At these peoples house who had the tomatoes, the first thing I saw when I got there was a trap like one of these. I have of few of these traps myself that I have removed from illegal trappers. They are required to put information on the trap and check it every so often, but these did not comply. They use canned cat food to try to trap beavers for fur. The beavers aren't hurting anyone & since they don't check their traps often enough the beaver could die in the trap or one of my cats could get stuck in there and die.
When I went inside the house I asked them what they were trying to trap. "Skunks" is what they answered. Last year they also trapped raccoons. They just shoot whatever they catch. Not cool IMO but it is their property. Raccoons never bother us, they eat the dry cat food outside during the winter but no big deal. I just don't keep much in the hopper. The coons also try to get into feed buckets but they can't get the lid off so we just find the bucket rolled somewhere in the morning. I felt bad for the skunks but didn't say anything.
Fast forward to me eating dinner, which you asked about (what I was having) and I answered. Half-way through eating my dog comes in the house kinda freaking out. I can tell something is up and it seems he has something in his right eye. Then I smell it. He got sprayed by a skunk, again. I got him outside and blocked the dog door so he could not get back in. Finished my meal trying not to breathe. I have smelled skunk spray before but not that fresh, it was brutal. Since the house was closed up for the smoke outside it made it even worse.
The whole time I was finishing my meal I couldn't stop thinking about the thoughts I had earlier in the day about the skunks, how I felt sorry for them. Also I thought about giving away my plans to the internet, something I strive never to do. I even had the thought before I replied about the consequences of telling you what I was having for dinner. This is where my mind starts making connections (real or imagined) and I kick myself for having these thoughts.
I have this paranoid idea about putting personal information about your plans for the future on the internet can open up an attack vector. So after telling you about what I was having for dinner and then having my dinner messed with like that really mind-fucks me. I only eat one meal a day and was looking forward to that one!
Maybe skunk was trying to tell me something. My dog got sprayed right on the right side of his muzzle, in his right eye, and basically the entire right side of his face from nose to neck. He has to be able to tell it is a skunk and not a cat, they have an odor even if they have not sprayed recently & dogs have better sniffers than I do! He got a cold bath chained to the deck later that night. Took him a while to come out from under the deck. He rubbed himself all over to try to remove the oil, so now it still smells like skunk outside a week later. Last Sunday we cleaned the floors, the dog door flaps, and other stuff. I think I might have some on my boots because every time I put them on I smell it on my hands afterwards. Dog still smells when gets close too, gonna be there for another week or so.
Alright, that is basically why I said in the other reply. How was Texas? Any good news about your daughter?
