DSLR? What button is that on my phone? My last real camera was a 35mm Olympus, I can't even remember the model. I rarely took the 50mm lens off and had a whole ruck of great pictures of my friends, good times.

The third time I went to get a baby skunk the lady who gets the babies let my crash at her house. I helped out feeding and cleaning up with her and got to play with baby skunks for two days, it was the best two days of my life. Here is a box of baby skunks from that year  I left early on the third day as the sun was coming up. Driving on the bridge from Clearwater to Tampa I got this spectacular picture. I was way better in person with the rays of light coming from behind that mushroom shaped cloud  Artieboo was the one I got that time. He was an apricot and the little guy was the sweetest, kindest soul  I also had a coon for a little while. Here he is looking out the window  And here is a skunk looking something up on wikipedia

Just curious, the pros of skunks look pretty obvious (super cute and playful) but what are the cons

spog posted:I would like to know more. Well, there was a truck that we sold and was being transported through Chicago this one time... the transportation company driver had a sudden revelation and left the truck on the side of the road while he went and did whatever people like that do, and some homeless people started living in it. By the time we found it there was considerable drug paraphernalia and a condom on the gearshift. There was another truck that a customer's employee hung themselves in, and they sent it to us to refurbish it. Still had the EMT gloves and everything in it. From an engineering perspective, we use the old Studebaker proving grounds (which are brutal) and I saw the entire floor of a truck collapse in spectacular fashion. And because our management is spotty at best, we had already started building production trucks and had to add a bunch of steel reinforcements to hold the floor up. That was pretty awesome (because it wasn't my fault). CornHolio fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Nov 6, 2018 |

Applebees Appetizer posted:So this skunk person you know lives in Clearwater? Not far from me at all. Yea she lives in Clearwater but I havent heard from her in years. My vet is also friends with her and he hadnt either. I was a representative in a rescue/education group with her and a few others for a short time. I poo poo you not there was a coup and the president of the group was ousted followed by a huge fight between all of us. I resigned because I didnt agree with what happened and although I did talk to her shortly after that drama I have a feeling there still may be some animosity towards me for resigning. Im not sure but she has never told me one way or the other, just quit talking to me. If anyone here has been in any kind of animal rescue group they are the same with people getting crazy over the smallest or weirdest things. Animal people are weird. Anyway the biggest con is that there is no approved rabies vaccination for skunks. The one for dogs works (galaxy something) but it is not recognized by the FDA, yet. Generally people think that skunks, raccoons, etc are rabies "carriers". They can get rabies just like any other animal but they get sick and die just like any animal that gets it. In 1982 there was a BYB skunk breeder that supposedly sold skunks that had rabies and in hte panic many states outlawed them as pets. Right now if your skunk bites someone, vaccinated or not and it is reported to authorities DNR will confiscate and behead your skunk to test for rabies since the only way to test is to look at the brain. There are a few people that had their skunks taken and killed for that that are trying to get the vaccination approved. Its usually a family member or friend that report it. Here is the most recent incident that I can think of. The lady's niece or something turned in a bite and Pepe was taken and killed. https://www.facebook.com/promisesforpepe/ Its ridiculous too because there are programs all over the US and Canada where DNR puts the vaccination in marshmallows for wild animals to eat and it works. BTW all mine have always been vaccinated just in case so that I might be able to plead with someone not to report the bite. For any other pet they get a 10 day quarantine. Hopefully between promises for pepe and aspen skunk rabies research that pet skunks will get the same treatment as any other pet when it comes to bites. The next big thing is finding a vet that is experienced with skunks, close as possible to where you live in case of an emergency and also will not report a bite. Its also really expensive since they are considered "exotic" even though they are almost the only animal people have as pets that only come from north America almost exclusively. The motto for the skunk group I was in was "The All American Pet". I have a shirt that if I can find Ill post it. Its hilarious and cool. To get females spayed at my vet it was almost $700. Im not sure what it is for dogs and cats but I believe it is much less. A neuter was a little under $300. They can only be put under for surgery with isoflourine gas and monitered the whole time. Tooth extractions when they get older was pricey, I dont recall what it was any longer but Im sure it was expensive. Food used to be really expensive because they need a diet high in taurine like a cat but less protein so you cant just feed them cat food. They also need calcium supplements and tons of various vegetables to balance with the protein for an omnivorous diet. Insects are really good for them and they are expensive at the pet store so a lot of owners would grow their own, mostly mealworms since they are pretty easy to raise. Currently food is a lot easier to get for them since dog food has really high quality options these days that if you pay close attention to the ingredients they have most of what skunks need to be healthy. That didnt used to be the case even 10 or so years ago. Today you can almost get away with just feeding them high quality dog food and vegetables and just supplent the taurine and calcium. In the past there were many recipes out there in the skunk groups that owners would cook/make that were a good diet for them and also fodder for huge arguments about what was the best. Imagine the fights we have about what oil we think is best for our cars, same thing. Some discussion groups would not even allow food discussions on the public boards. Thats all I can think of for now, I gotta start working on the Chevy and Rocco sometime today.

So apparently the Liberty Union party is a thing up here. Interesting option to review. There were certainly a number of them on the ballot for various offices. Otherwise yeah, pretty much straight D otherwise. It's an interesting conundrum. I think the current gov has done a reasonably decent job and I don't think is very hardcore R... Not perfect, but certainly not a raging conservative either. I have no serious complaints with him. But... I'm willing to give Hallquist a shot. I think she is offering ideals more inline with my beliefs and brings some topics that may be obvious to the forefront that wouldn't be there otherwise. We'll see how it ends up tonight I guess.

So they totally fired a dude today because he's been eating food out of the fridges in the break rooms. That's break ROOMS. His badge was flagged going into buildings he doesn't work in and they got curious and checked the cameras and his dumbass was going to the various rooms and stuffing his face.
