Baby Flea: "Mommy? Why is it snowing in May?"

[errantember]

When last we left Our Hero, previous flea control attempts had yielded a near total-victory for the Forces of Good. However, the intermittent wind and rain since the application of diatomaceous earth had taken it's toll. The final straw was the escape of The Beast, the third and most ridiculously-oversized raccoon to date. Destroying my (borrowed!) trap, it bent the door of it's steel cage 90 degrees to escape before deportation from the vicinity could occur.

Retributive flea dissemination on the part of said Beast may well be exacerbating the already deteriorating situation on the ground. Recapture must be facilitated lest it realize it's own strength, break through the wall of my bedroom in the blackness of night, and devour me whole.

Citing a rain-free forecast, St. Ember again processed forth to complete an even more total coverage of the entire fenced-in Loki Defecatory Preserve. Large groups of fallen leaves, the flea Spring Break Padre Island, were removed to the compost bin. Finally, a newer and stronger trap was procured, and will be fielded this evening with morsels so tasty, so odoriferous, that even previous incarceration will fail to deter entrapment.

I'll get pictures before I let it go this time.


Assuming I survive...
