[Homestead] Playing Possum

Well, now - my last question was a serious one, and I thank you for a reply  
in kind. I have a particular fondness for goats.
 
After 'saving' it, though, I started to chuckle, comparing the possum's  
instinct to that of all of us who have turned belly-up, glassy-eyed and  
slack-jawed, hoping that the economic situation will have gone away by  the time we 
wake up?
 
I am just as - or more - interested in your reply regarding the  intricacies 
of the natural world as I am with the state of the global (and  local) 
economies.
 
The natural world will continue - with us or without us. Human foibles will  
continue to be the on ongoing joke of the universe.

Apparently.  One young possum the Aussie brought in this summer  we decided 
to 
spare and we put it on a stump to see what would  happen.  It lay there 
glassy 
eyed and slack jawed for fifteen  minutes, then got up and stretched and 
yawned several times, looked around  confused, then took its bearing and ran  
off.
