I don't think that you have to worry too much that the house has it in for us (except for its uncanny ability to know when we have a few bucks in the bank, and then to generate a problem that costs however much we have, to fix the problem)...we're the only owners who have ever taken care of the place, after all.

Yes, we do have lightning rods.

No, I don't think the Skunk Gods bear any resentment toward us, given the fact that we've done so much to benefit the wildlife around here, both in general and in specific cases.

Ask LynnZ. She's been here, and I don't remember her saying the place seemed spooky....but she could just have been being polite, or I could just not have remembered her saying anything...

But anyway, thanks again for all your concern. That's one of the things I like the most about DU; when you mention a troubling circumstance, you get supportive messages not only from the people you know, but also from people you haven't had much interaction with.

THAT'S how a community is supposed to work. And it's heartening to see it working here at DU.

Good night, my friends.
