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.
