The days are getting shorter which means it's nearly dark by 8:30.

I've had a handful of close encounters with skunks and they haven't sprayed me yet, but I'm afraid my days are numbered.

The anxiety of being sprayed trumps having a cigarette, but soon it's going to be dark at 5pm and I refuse to live in fear.

I read the Wikipedia article about skunks today and one of the first people to describe one in writing said they were an embodiment of sin

People were stupid back then.

No joke I was smoking last night and it was raining. I notice something run by about a foot away from me and I was like ohh a big ole....... not cat..... and just kinda froze for a minute while it went on its merry way. Wet skunks smell a lot like wet dog btw.

I almost walked into one a few weeks ago- got a few feet away before I saw it lift its tail, at which point I turned around and hauled rear end the other way

I've seen them a couple of times since then, but not that close.



One of my loving neighbors keeps leaving peanuts and bread and poo poo outside, and I think that's what's attracting them.

I'M A FUCKING IDIOT
p.s. don't wear condoms
A good friend of mine rescued 2 baby skunks a few years ago that were abandoned by their mother (or it died), who didn't come back for them in the dead of winter. He was convinced into keeping them by his bleeding heart and super flamboyant husband, who doesn't even do the caretaking of them. In the 3 years he's had them, they've never sprayed. They're really nice after you get over the initial fear, but their hair isn't the softest thing in the world even though they're really clean animals and he takes really good care of them.

Because skunks are illegal to own in CT, they are kind of a pain in the rear end to take care of, and even his vet friend won't touch them with a 10 foot pole in order to protect his hide, let alone take out their scent gland. They're also kind of picky eaters in captivity apparently? But they're healthy, really friendly with people and their 4 Cheweenie (did I mention he's gay?), and kind of cute. He likes to freak people out by letting them roam free on the couches where they burrow their heads in between the cushions and people's legs. Someday someone is going to sit on one of those things when they're chilling in between couch cushions and stink up the whole house.

See the one stupid rear end roommate I have left a bag of his take out garbage out on the stoop a few weeks ago and animals got into it. Someone else told him to clean it up but apparently that didn't include the Swiss Chalet sauces under the bush and I'm afraid that's what's triggered this.

Last time I saw a skunk was when my upstairs neighbour had a literal garbage pile on his back deck.

I think I'm getting to the root of my issues.

Did You Know? Skunks are voracious foragers of plant life, especially cannabis plants, and the odor compounds in the weed become distributed throughout the skunk's endocrine system, in much the same way that a flamingo relies on its diet to maintain its pink pigment

It's technically possible, if you collect the concentrated spray and perform a lipid extraction, similar to the preparation of cannabis butter.

My car got sprayed once it smelled like poo poo for about a week even after taking it through the car wash like three times

The problem was my window was open and I couldn't close it fast enough when I realized i was about to hit a skunk and it would inevitably poo poo its spray out of fear

I have never been sprayed by a skunk, but I have the pleasure of owning a Husky. Which means anything small and fuzzy looks like a great chew toy. Also the stinky stuff is really awesome to roll in apparently.

This leads to 3am baths where we are both miserable. Her hating baths so omg why am I toturing her and getting rid of the awesome smell. As for myself, kneeling over tub trying to wrangle 40lb dog + slipped discs = not being able to stand fully upright for a couple days.
