skunks

After having a under the porch skunk problem for a week or two, I tried using mothballs to make it go away.

Think of the worst thing that can happen in your neighborhood. Got it? Well, this is worse.

It does not take the well trained nose of a beer aficionado to determine if a beer has gone bad or not. No sir; upscale brew connoisseur and backwoods drunkards alike know that there is only one word to describe the putrid scent of beer gone rotten – and that is “skunk.”

It's unclear if a nine-year-old New Sewickley, PA, girl was actually dressed as a skunk Saturday night for a local Halloween party. But she was wearing a black hat and a white tussle and that was enough for a relative of the unidentified girl to mistake her for the stinky varmint.

The snow is melting away, the days are getting longer, and it's becoming warmer.  It's spring!  Finally!  And with the spring arriving, so does the smell of skunk.  You must have noticed by now, I've seen 3 skunks already this year.  Why do they come out at spring?  And why are they always found dead on the road?
