Yes, I thought the possum were eradicated last season, having been replaced by the skunks this season. But now, in late August, the possum are making a showing. There are undoubtedly not many of them around here right now, as they gave no problems during when the cantaloupe were really going, and that is what they really seemed to crave well last season, since the cantaloupe are so fragrant when they ripen, which gave me the opportunity to kill or capture several of them last year. 

Anyway, there are some neighbors, friends, and me too, looking forward to those big fatty Crimson Sweet watermelon that are almost ready. Yippee!

Interestingly, have you ever noticed how the words "possum", "watermelon", and "cantaloupe" are all words that are used, in context, as both a singular or a plural, rather than saying or writing "possums", "watermelons", and "cantaloupes"? I still sometimes use them incorrectly.

It's similar to how Apostle Paul argues from the Tora, in his Letter to the Galatians, at what we call Chapter 3 (notice how he uses the pronoun "we" to describe himself, a Jew, as on equal covenantal footing as Gentile Christians), and at Romans 9, about how the SEED or OFFSPRING is to be taken as a SINGULAR, regarding The Blessing and Promise of Abraham belonging to CHRIST, and only to those Gentiles and Jews who join themselves to HIM, through FAITH, and NOT by a plurality of "descendants" (a bad translation) with enough Jewish DNA to supposedly impress God. Which is how Christian Zionists and Dispensationalists most often seem to foolishly think about God, as if He covets some future generation of Jewish DNA and a strip of Middle Eastern sand above all else.
