No, you do not want to go out and squeeze him

A "possum" as we call them here are not very nice- but they will probably hiss if you get close enough to let you know stay back. I would think they could also carry rabies like other creatures in the woods.

The Cheez-It Squeeze-It
I am sitting here reading this with the box of Cheez-Its (white cheddar) between my thighs. It takes great dexterity, strength and coordination to keep those Cheez-Its in place without squishing the box and without dropping it. I have to admit I have not seen any improvement in the thighs as of yet, but I'll keep monitoring them.

Full of holes? Incomplete? Needs more detail? Cats can squeeze thru tiny spaces. nm
