Something Mystical: “You have reincarnated as a possum for?… For?… Sixty million years?”
byVanderleunonOctober 16, 2020
“We hope this has struck a personal chord in your own life and that you’ll continue to join us as Pearl and I work out the kinks in assisting baffled seekers to uncover psychic secrets”
Sometime I’ll tell you my possum story. Oh, that’s right, I already did.

I had heard that Nancy Pelosi had a sister, but wasn’t completely sure until I saw that video.

I put out a deer feeder a few weeks ago and set up a game camera. I had plenty of deer on the SD card but I also had a butt load of raccoons and ‘possums’ who were climbing up the legs of the feeder and sweeping the corn from the feed chutes onto the ground for all the little animals. After watching those varmints go through 100 lbs of corn I wagged off to the local feed store and bought a pair of traps called ‘coon cuffs’.
Coon cuffs are designed to catch coons and possums when they stick their paw into the trap to pull out some goodies and I caught several that I had to dispose of because the traps don’t kill upon catching. They just hold them until the owner returns and dispatches the varmints, preferably with a .22 to the noodle, which is what I had to do.
I really don’t have any problem killing predators because these two varmints will destroy turkey nests on the ground and coons in particular will kill and eat young fawns but I told a friend who lives on a farm a few miles from me and she said that possums eat ticks, so I checked it out on the vastly accurate internet and discovered they can eat 5K ticks a season. In the Deep South, where I live, the Brazilian Fire Ant helps get rid of them too and those tiny little monsters eat the eggs, larvae and ticks in all stages of their lives.
I had never heard that and the only time I’ve ever really seen possums in the wild, during the day, is when you catch one with a full belly waddling out of the inside of the carcass of a dead cow or deer. They crawl up inside the carcass and eat until they can barely walk….and most of the time they’re covered with green flies. In a word, they’re repulsive and they carry and spread any number of different diseases that can affect people and domestic animals.
So, I hope that this seer has the insight to realize that those possums might give her a good case of leprosy or TB, Lepto, tularemia or any other of a dozen or so other cooties that might kill her. Maybe that spirit of the squirrel is holding out on her; I know I probably would.
After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.

& two facts ’bout possums you didn’t know….
sorry not safe for work, you’ll havta look them up yourself, and one’s fact, th’other’s fiction.
Well, there’s seven minutes I’ll never get back. I tortured myself to see where it was going…and it went nowhere.
Come back as a possum?
Shit, why not…
JWM
So who’s the squirrel?
Sometime I’ll tell you my possum story. Oh, that’s right, I already did.

Nancy Pelosi doing an impersonation of Nancy Pelosi. Now that was fun.
Oh….sorry I kicked your ratty little ass off my deck last night.
Stay out of the cat food & we’ll be OK.
